April Vokey lands a monster taimen. Andrew Burr/Patagonia Can you imagine going on a fishing trip to Mongolia and not knowing what kind of fish you might catch? Photographer Andrew Burr did exactly that. The result was shared on Patagonia’s The Cleanest Line blog. Titled “Notes from a Non-Angler”, Burr recounts his journey to capture…
In addition to in-classroom training during a recent TU and U.S. Forest Service stream simulation training workshop, a day was spent in the field to reinforce classroom lessons and to help participants gain hands-on experience with field measurements. By Amy Wolfe In late October 2018, Trout Unlimited hosted a five-day training workshop put on by…
“Decades before the phrase “global warming” shifted to “climate change” or its more urgent iterations such as “climate crisis” and “climate emergency,” Trout Unlimited was already working on ways to build resilience in the face of a warming planet.”

Maybe the most etherial flight from Denver follows the spine of the Rockies, the high Divide separating east from west that limbos beneath the Gulf of Mexico and winds its way through the isthmus of Panama, into the South America and on down to the curling tusk of Cape Horn.
Data collected, scientists now set out to gauge how flows affect the river’s wild browns.
One warm, mid-May morning, some friends and I rented a raft to fish our home tailwater. We’d never floated the river before; usually we spent our days wading the winding river’s public stretches. So, we decided to pool enough money to rent one for a day. Rafting meant we could hit the holes we’d never…
To say 2020 has been a challenging year would be an understatement. But, perhaps what the year has provided us is an opportunity to reflect on what’s really important
A Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Cutthroat trout today occupy less than 10 percent of their native habitat, and the waters where they do persist are largely headwater streams that could impacted by the EPA’s decision to gut the Clean Water Rule. If the fly fishing media didn’t cover the issue, many anglers wouldn’t know…

William Conrad as Marshall Matt Dillon By Chris Hunt Years ago, when I worked as a journalist on the North Coast of California, I got into the habit of falling to sleep to the sounds of old-time radio. Stan Freberg—a Radio Hall-of-Famer—hosted a nightly show on one of the AM stations we could pick up…
By Jake Lemon and Mark Taylor At its roots, trout fishing is a fairly simple endeavor. One needs only a rod, reel (sometimes!), line and a few flies or lures. On the other hand, Trout Unlimited employs an array of high-tech methods in its ongoing efforts to improve and protect habitat and to make trout fishing…
by Chris Hunt It was bright blue when I first crawled into it as a 12-year-old kid. Its paper-thin nylon hardly seemed sturdy enough to stop a breath of wind, let alone protect its occupants from whatever it was that wandered the woods at night. That wispy little barrier, though, provided real emotional security for…
Growing up in the Denver suburbs, one of my favorite childhood haunts was a public park a short bike ride from home. It sported the sketchy jungle gym with the sharp, rusty edges, the little spring loaded ridable critters that, with enough momentum, could send a small child into orbit, and a small lake that…

By Laura MacFarland Wisconsin River Valley Trout Unlimited received $2,000 from the Trout and Salmon Foundation to improve brook trout habitat and angling opportunities within Newman Creek located on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Price County, Wisc. In partnership with the U.S.…
We often make fly fishing more complicated than we need to. A good example of that is mending our fly line to get a better, more natural drift as our flies work their way downstream. Often, as TU’s Kirk Deeter points out in the video below, our mends are too jerky or move the flies…
The wind is the perceived enemy of many a fly fisher, but, as Kirk Deeter points out in this week’s video, it needn’t be. The key, as Deeter puts it, is to “make friends with the wind.” Or, as he demonstrates, use the wind to your advantage, even when it’s in your face. The key?…
New drilling policies are a win for fish and wildlife. Now a key federal agency needs to modernize its oil and gas leasing rules.
