Why, you may ask? Because it is the one place where all of the major stakeholders in the…
Remember these words: Questa, New Mexico. You must fish here.
Try a double-nymph rigs, using a heavier bug as the lead fly and trailing behind it a smaller fly
Like all non-essential businesses, fishpond had to change the way it operated during the early days of the pandemic. Employees worked from home and the brand worked with fly shops to postpone scheduled ship dates and waived standard fees. There were scary times, at least for a while. One bright spot was that dealers with an online…
While I’m relatively new to fly fish at the core, I am a craftsman. I spent 13 years in the custom woodwork industry while living in Charleston, SC. I then started a handmade bow tie and necktie company in 2010. I enjoyed the creative outlet this business provided me and the opportunity to work with…
Problem was I hadn’t used this specific anchor line in quite some time and never with this anchor. When I went to clip the carabiner to said anchor it was far to long and would have dragged in the water at points being both unsafe and really annoying. We needed to loose about 4 to 5 inches inches of length on the set up.
Mason and Morgan enjoying a day on the river. Having the right gear ensures family outings are comfortable, safe, easy and fun!
I thought I’d share a little system I stole from the big whitewater world on a semi-permanent way to ship your oars using a small loop of rope both towards the bow and stern sections of your boat. This way you have the choice of putting those blades forward or backward
Public lands are the anvil upon which the character of our nation was hammered out as we made our way west.
By Chris Hunt We had a moment this week, my youngest brother and I.

We have one thing…

A Fence Stands In The Sticks by Gavin Nupp The Trout Unlimited Teen Summit this year was for me one of excitement, exploration, and experience. I started my journey to the Summit at the same place as all of my fellow Summiteers: my Home. My parents and I left for my home state of Ohio’s…
Redfish Lake, Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho. Photo by Chris Hunt by Chris Hunt I admit it. I’m biased. I love my home state of Idaho. Home to sprawling sage-brush seas, sky-piercing mountains, old-growth cedar and spruce forests and some of the best trout water on the planet, it’s no accident that I arrived here some…
After more than a decade of work, the greenback cutthroat trout is now reproducing in a second remote stream.
As the Tongass National Forest moves away from clear cut logging old-growth forests and instead investing in restoration, recreation, and resiliency, a new workforce is needed.

Trout Unlimited in pleased to…

Chad turned to his wife Erin, “If I don’t make it back, I died doing what I love.” It was well-spoken and sealed with a kiss. The Class III rapids of the canyon are far from the roughest or most consequential white water in the state, though they have proven deadly. As with many things, it’s better to be safe than sorry when drifting for adventure and a sense of freedom in…
