Clean water at risk: EPA proposes restrictions on state and tribal authority under Clean Water Act
EPA proposed rule would vastly undercut state and tribal authority to protect coldwater resources.

That’s why Trout Unlimited offers its Trout in the Classroom program to thousands of schools all over America. That’s why we hold several youth camps every year, and why we…

Justin Pickett at Gink and Gasoline tackles an interesting phenomenon in the fly fishing world: anglers who abhore the idea of fishing private water for massive trout and aren’t shy about trashing those who do. I’ve seen it here, too. I post a lot of content for TU, both here on the blog and across…
Fishing matters
City Catch kids in Baltimore. Lately, when I am in town, I’ve taken to starting my mornings at Fletchers boathouse. I’ll row up or downstream for an hour with a strung fly rod. If I see a suspended gar, or a rolling carp, I’ll stop and cast. Even with the outing, I am at the…

Fly tying: Ken’s Crystal Worm
I have the same discussion with a lot of different folks about this time every year. Are flies that imitate worms … ethical? My take? Absolutely. They mimic a naturally occuring prey base in rivers, lakes and streams all over America, and, with high flows approaching in some of our snow-locked rivers, worm patterns are…
Gear test: The Sage DART
This time of year, it’s all about small water for me. With summer in full gear, lower-elevation waters are simply too hot to fish, and the tailwater refuges for big trout are crowded with drift boats. But up high, where night-time temperatures dip into the 40s or even the upper 30s, trout waters stay nice…
Sculpin Study
Prior to meeting Evan Sirianni, my knowledge of sculpin consisted of occasionally looking at Muddler Minnows in a fly shop fly bin and wondering if they work.
