Fly shops—a blinding flash of the obvious
By Walt Gasson We do surveys at TU. We ask questions and TU members give us answers. We use those answers to guide the things we do. That’s a good thing. TU is a membership-driven organization. That’s one of the things I love about working here. But once in a while, we ask a survey
The caddis: ‘The most dishonest fly ever’
Big trout won’t chase adult caddis as much as they will go after emerging caddis that are still in the water. Tom Rosenbauer doesn’t like caddis flies. OK. Maybe you need some background. I’m in snowy Island Park, Idaho, for a couple of days this week to drop in on the School of Trout, a
Missouri launches Blue Ribbon Trout Slam
By Kyle Pokorny Anglers creating a list of states to fly fish for wild rainbow trout on pristine streams will not likely consider Missouri as a worthy candidate. However, you would be remiss to leave Missouri off the list entirely. The state of Missouri has within its borders nine Blue Ribbon streams that are home
The TU-Loon Outdoors Spring Fly Showdown
The coronavirus outbreak has changed our lives this spring. Here’s a small diversion to take your mind off the crisis for a bit. Right about now, in a normal world, we’d be in the throes of the NCAA National Championship basketball tournament. Many of us would have agonized over the completion of tournament brackets, invested
Tyker Hubble
Trout Unlimited Youth Essay Contest Winner Tyker Hubble, Garland, Utah, Seventh grade Life without public lands would be boring. All the fun activities my family enjoys are in these green spaces. No public lands would mean no camping, fishing, hunting and hiking. Public lands provide people with access to try new things or do something
The restorative power of rainbows and reindeer dogs
The annual Armed Forces Appreciation Fishing trip has been fostering connections and community in Alaska since 2018.
The True Cast – catch an angler this season.
Nobody gets to where they are in the fly-fishing world without a little nudge, or connection, or instruction, or inspiration.
A memorial for a giant
A few weeks ago, the Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited and other partners met in Lovells, Michigan to dedicate a memorial to Art Neumann, the last surviving founder of Trout Unlimited who passed away last year. It was a great day, and Art’s kids—TU members in good standing—attended the dedication, and wanted me to pass
What’s your favorite fall streamer?
Kids are back in school. The summer sun has lost its edge. Things are definitely cooling off here in the Rockies. It’s almost time for in-earnest fall fishing. Around here, that means we’re getting ready for the fall run of browns up the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork and, of course, the big, B-run
Trout Tips: Small water, long casts
Small-stream angling is generally considered the “short game” of fly fishing—it’s rare that an angler would need to throw more than 20 feet or so. But that’s not always the case, and it pays to “bring a driver” on small water, too—come equipped with your double-haul. Chances are, you won’t need it, but when fish
Trout Tips: The windshield never lies
Editor’s note: The following is exerpted from TU’s book, “Trout Tips,” available for online purchase and overnight delivery. I recently took a long drive through Kootenay, Banff and Jasper national parks along the border with British Columbia and Alberta. Throughout the entire drive, delicious, glacial-tinged trout water paralleled my path. Trouble was, save for the
Flies to die for?
The Royal Coachman. Worth dying for? Let’s have a little fun, if no other reason than to talk about those fly patterns that just never seem to let us down. Here’s the question: What fly would you climb out on a limb to retrieve, even if the limb looked a little sketchy and the tumble
Video spotlight: Rockport Resilient
There’s a great little redfish flat situated behind the airport in Rockport, Texas. A few years back, I did a strange dance with an 8-foot gator on that flat, working back to the shore from about 100 yards out in the mostly clear water as the reptile eyed me from an increasingly close distance. When
Video spotlight: Into the Wild
When the float plane disappears into the ether and all you’re left with is the pile of gear you unceremoniously tossed from the hold, it takes a minute to realize that you’re actually “out here,” on the margins of survivability. You’re alone (not lonely—that’s different). You’ve got nothing but time to kill before that plane
Video spotlight: Coastal Chrome
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a huge steelhead guy. I love to chase big ocean-going rainbows as they come back home to Idaho and prepare to spawn, but sometimes, the reward is slim. Frozen fingers, frozen toes and few, if any fish, to show for it leave me wanting. Video of
