Gear test: Orvis Ultralight waders
A good pair of waders is essential to most anglers’ enjoyment of our sport. So when you think about good waders, what do you think of? They need to be reliable, as leaky waders will end an enjoyable day pretty quickly. They need to be durable, built to last against the rigors of a long

Plying the Andean flats for giant browns
Chris Hunt photo. A distinctly tropical experience in a distinctly trouty wonderland Imagine gliding over that stereotypical, crystal-clear Caribbean flat in search of bonefish or permit, your Spanish-speaking guide doing his best to meet you on your side of the language barrier.

Remote sensing will revolutionize trout conservation
Remote sensing is being used to measure improvement in Lahontan cutthroat trout habitat in Nevada. By Dan Dauwalter, Kurt Fesenmyer and Helen Neville Have you ever assisted your local DNR biologist with a painstaking habitat survey on your favorite trout stream where you tediously measured the stream channel, substrates, wood, undercut banks, and so on?
Master’s student searching lake sediment for clues to Idaho’s salmon past
“For me and my research specifically I want to make people aware of the number of fish that use to be in these lakes. We can fall into a trap of seeing a couple of hundred of fish after years of seeing a few and think things are good,” she said. “It is important to understand dramatic measures will need to be taken to restore these fisheries.”
The hex hatch
Over the weekend I spent a total of 12 hours fishing. I landed two fish to show for it. It was nonetheless supremely satisfying. And no, I wasn’t fishing for steelhead. About 100 miles north of Lake Tahoe a lovely reservoir lies resplendent, framed by ponderosa pines, Douglas fir and the southern terminus of the
Hiking the CDT: Fire and wildlife
It was not a bad place to be looking for wildlife. There were deer, elk, and moose everywhere. Our best elk sighting was on the second to last day, when we came over a pass. Down in the valley we saw a group of about 50 elk, two bulls were fighting, their antlers clacking when they crashed together. From that exact spot at the top of the pass, we also saw a bull moose kneeling beside a lake, and four mountain goats along a ridge above him.
Video spotlight: Alpine Trout
I have a float tube. I probably haven’t taken it off it’s hook in the garage in half a dozen years. Maybe more. Lake fishing really isn’t my thing, I guess. But after watching the video below by Todd Moen, I may need to rethink my perspective on still-water fishing. Granted, I don’t have an
Short casts: 25 years since “The Movie,” saving Colorado’s greenbacks, India’s mahseer
This fall, the film iteration of Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs Through It” turns 25. The film made fly fishing trendy (too trendy, some would say), and it helped put Montana on the fly fishing map. While the film and the book centered on the Blackfoot River near Missoula, the film’s fishing was actually shot
