When you find a fly rod that’s essentially made for the kind of fly fishing you like to do—and makes that fishing markedly better—you hang onto it. That’s why I’ll likely never part with the new Sage Trout LL rod. I’m a walk-and-wade stream-fishing junkie. I like the intimate feel of water running around my…

TU is part of the newly launched Our Pocono Waters campaign in Pennsylvania. Photo courtesy of PA Environmental Digest. The term “partnerships” might sound kind of boring when thinking about restoring cold-water fisheries, but, truth be told, without them, precious little would get done. And there’s nobody better at fostering partnerships—and accomplishing good restoration work—than…
Happily, this week, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Márquez found Trout Unlimited’s arguments compelling and declared that the 2020 rule was illegal and “would cause serious environmental harm.”
Conservation is the best idea that America ever gave the rest of the world.

Restoration Ripple Effects: Co-benefits to fish, wildlife, and communities. River restoration benefits more than fish. Healthy and restored river corridors have room to move, taking on complex and connected forms. Water can readily access the floodplain as water rises, slowing a river’s flow, providing diverse habitats to both aquatic and terrestrial species, and cleaning water…
On November 9, Dean Finnerty became the latest Trout Unlimited representative to testify before Congress, when he appeared before the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands in support of the Southwestern Oregon Watersheds and Salmon Protection Act. Few are more qualified to tout the importance of southwestern Oregon streams for salmon and steelhead than…
Why do we need wild salmon and steelhead to thrive in the Snake River? Because they make connections. Wild salmon connect the Sawtooth Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Fish born in the rivers find their way to the sea, only to return at the end of their lives to spawn, die and decay—in the process…

We might all agree that since the dawn of fly-fishing time, the benchmark for “success” has, for better or worse, revolved around “catching the big one.”
Every now and then, I like to explore and find new water, even in parts of the world I’m very familiar with. Earlier this week, I spent some time in the fringe country of Yellowstone National Park, along the Idaho-Montana border. It’s ranch and cabin country here—there’s a lot of private land that borders public…
Well, well, well… what do we have here? A digital complement to TROUT magazine? In a word… exactly. But I think the best way to describe the rationale and vision is to anticipate and preemptively answer a handful of questions (I’ve always found it easiest to answer questions I ask myself, but of course I will welcome and…

Soft-hackle fishing can be absolutely deadly, particularly for trout that are feeding higher in the water column, but not quite on top.
