Outdoor journalist helps TU, others with new book

Published in Uncategorized

Kris Millgate is a tenacious outdoor journalist, and I’ve come to admire her as much for her work as I do for her enthusiasm. Several years back, while working to garner press for TU’s Sportsmen’s Conservation Project, I contracted with Kris to help produce high-quality videos that showcased TU’s work on public lands and waters

Video spotlight: Catch and Cook Carp

Published in Video spotlight

Nearly two decades ago, I caught my first carp on a fly. I can honestly say that, since that day, my angling life has never been the same. Carp are strong, smart and plentiful. They are a challenging fly-rod fish and in many places, anglers can sight-fish for them, much like they do for bonefish…

‘Anglers Driving Change’ highlights the passion for wild rivers

Published in Boats

I’m gonna deviate today slightly from the boat rhetoric and throw something out there that is important, incredibly powerful to watch and features one of TU’s own. I think we can all agree that “fly fishing is about so much more than pulling on fish” like Kirk Deeter says or rowing a boat (hard for me to admit).

It’s about that time … the itch among Atlantic salmon anglers is coming on pretty strong. While Atlantics in the U.S. are largely gone (but the outlook is brighter now than it was just a few years ago), anglers in Canada, the British Isles and Scandanavia are gearing up for another season spent chasing perhaps…

Video spotlight: Above Iliamna

Published in Video spotlight

Alaska’s Bristol Bay is home to the most important run of sockeye salmon on earth—about half of all commercially harvested sockeye come from this run, and they provide about 14,000 American jobs every single year. This fishery, as we’ve noted for well over a decade, is priceless. Yet the threat of Pebble Mine looms like…

Video spotlight: Barramundi Monsters

Published in Video spotlight

I cast flies to barramundi in the tropical north of Queensland several years back. It was rainy and windy and I’d heard so many horror stories about inshore saltwater crocodiles, that I kind of psyched myself out. I never connected to a barramundi, but I did manage some jungle perch in a crystal-clear high-mountain stream…

Climate change is a reality for sportsmen and women in the West.

The film above by Conservation Hawks, a non-profit that communicates the challenges…

Topwater Atlantic salmon fishing

Atlantic salmon—at least those that swim wild in the ocean and migrate into the rivers and streams of Newfoundland and Labrador—are a bucket-list fish for a lot of fly fishers. And they should be. They rival any other salmon species when it comes to taking flies and, of course, when it comes to the fight…
