It’s terrestrial time, so leading your rig with a hopper (aka grasshopper) is a great idea.
We don’t know about you, but we’re having a blast figuring out the puzzle pieces to lake fishing.
Give this Orvis tip video a watch to get some ideas to use while fishing streamers.
The reach cast is a critical piece to add to your quiver of casting tools to smoothly deliver a fly and help ensure a drag-free drift.
It’s always nice to have more tools in your casting arsenal to present a fly effectively. That is certainly true when fishing the tails of pools, where you’ll often find big trout holding and feeding.
I get a pretty serious case of the blues after the end of the Wisconsin trout season. The past few years warm weather has lasted well into October, and late season terrestrial fishing has been epic. So, I end the season in a kind of manic flurry because the fishing is great and the sand is falling through the hourglass. When the end comes, it comes hard,…

The Golden Trout Wilderness is one of those rare places that captures the imagination—a remote, wild landscape that sits high on many anglers’ bucket lists.

CLEAN WATER AND HEALTHY FISHERIES At Trout Unlimited, we spend a lot of time thinking about “Blue Lines”—those small streams on the map that are the headwaters from which everything ultimately flows.

We hopped out of the canoe at the head of a big rapid. Truthfully, we could probably have made it through, but our Ojibwe guides Keith and Joe didn’t want to take any chances, and possibly put a damper on an otherwise perfect day on the water. We were floating and fishing a little no-name…
Buhler was right. There was absolutely no mistaking it. The Kern River rainbow has a vibrancy in color, all of its colors, that simply isn’t present in its hatchery imposters. The back of the fish was more densely clustered with darker and more defined spots, the rose coloring along its lateral line was more clearly defined and the most telltale mark, the white edges along its fins, were clearly defined.
