The old man’s fly rod

Published in Voices from the river, Featured

Some years back, I got a gift package in the mail right around Christmas time. It was from my uncle John, my mom’s brother. Long and slender, the package was a complete mystery to me–we’d long since stopped receiving gift packages from aunts and uncles, so I was really curious. Come Christmas morning, I watched…

Four-quarter fly fishing

Published in Fishing, Fly tying, TROUT Magazine

For years and years, fly fishing for trout, for me, was a three-period game, not a four-quarter contest. It was hockey, not football (even though I’m not much of a hockey guy). Depending on the season, the time of day or the weather, I’d go to my fly boxes and choose a fly from one…

How to fish a dry fly downstream

Published in Trout Tips, Fishing, TROUT Magazine, Video spotlight

Here in the U.S., we’re blessed with a lot of trout water, and, thankfully, a lot of public lands on which we can fish at our leisure rather than being forced to pay rod fee, walk a…

Red is the new golden
