Video spotlight: Brook Trout and Caddis Flies
One of the best experiences a fly angler can have is a stay at a remote fishing lodge, be it somewhere in the Rockies or the Adirondaks, or even as far-flung as Alaska or the Canadian north woods. I've had the pleasure of staying at lodges in the far north while chasing pike, walleye, lake…

Video spotlight: Water Wolf
Screen shot courtesy of Water Wolf. Barracuda are incredible gamefish, but they're often overlooked in favor of the "sexier" critters, like bonefish, tarpon and permit.

Video spotlight: Grayling Land
Disclaimer: I love grayling. A couple years ago, on an extended trip north through B.C., the Yukon and Alaska, I gleefully chased grayling. We have a few places here in the northern Rockies that have grayling, but they're few and far between, and the populations are fragile at best. But up north, grayling are prolific…
