He’s got a steady cast, a smart approach to fishing, and, perhaps most importantly, he’s great to travel with. Over the years, he and I have fished in four countries…
I have a float tube. I probably haven’t taken it off it’s hook in the garage in half a dozen years. Maybe more. Lake fishing really isn’t my thing, I guess. But after watching the video below by Todd Moen, I may need to rethink my perspective on still-water fishing. Granted, I don’t have an…

Second, as TROUT Magazine Editor Kirk Deeter demonstrates in this week’s edition of Trout Tips,…
Casting to perpendicular runs can be challenging–it’s often tough to get the right drift. Once anglers master the mend, the next tool that needs to be added to the tackle box to help get that perfect drift and send that fly downstream in a natural fashion is the reach cast. Here, TU’s Kirk Deeter demonstrates…
