In the summer of 2017, I was lucky enough to join a group of friends on a quick trip to northwest Ontario, where we visited a couple of lodges with Mark Melnyk, who works for Wildnerness North, which owns and operates a handful of lodges in the North Woods. One of these lodges was Stiker’s…
Say what you will about far-flung fishing adventures … that they’re not worth the carbon footprint they create, or that they’re the fool’s errand for anglers with more money than sense … but the search for massive brook trout in the farthest reaches of Patagonia has a certain romance to it. And now, the full…

“I have concluded that I am going to stay alive long enough to see salmon return to healthy populations in Idaho.” Those words by U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) at a conference at the Andrus Center last week may do more to project the recovery of the imperiled Snake River salmon and steelhead than multiple…

The Arctic char of Nunavut, the northern-most Canadian territory that lies just west of Greenland across Baffin Bay, are amazing fish.
