Protecting the source waters of California’s largest spring creek
The Medicine Lake Highlands complex of public lands, some 30 miles northeast of Mt. Shasta in California’s Cascade region, is a truly remarkable place.
The end of the world as we know it
Maybe the most etherial flight from Denver follows the spine of the Rockies, the high Divide separating east from west that limbos beneath the Gulf of Mexico and winds its way through the isthmus of Panama, into the South America and on down to the curling tusk of Cape Horn.
New gear: The Sage IGNITER
Fly rod construction could very well be compared to the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius. Faster. Higher. Stronger. It just seems that this is where the industry headed. Faster rods. Stronger blanks. And higher prices, of course. As I’m reminded, frequently, by my industry friends, research doesn’t come cheap, and in fly rods, you really
Native: Elk River cutthroats
It hadn’t done much but rain in the Rockies straddling the border of Montana and British Columbia last July, and the weather had put traditional fly hatches off a bit. Instead of pale-morning duns and stoneflies bursting from the snow-chilled waters of the Elk River near the town of Fernie, huge green drakes were popping

Voices from the River: Family tradition
By Josh Duplechian This is hands down the coldest my feet have ever been. Honestly. Remind me, why am I here again? Yes, that’s right for the annual sufferfest tradition we call fishing for steelhead off of Lake Erie. Sliding out of the warmth of the local breakfast joint and into our snow-filled parking spot,
A place to be a hobo
By Christine Peterson In his early 20s, Bill Christensen would gather a group of buddies and head into the mountain for a week. With no meals. “We would either catch fish or be hungry.” They rarely went more than a day without food, eventually finding fish in one of the Uintas’ hundreds of lakes. The
On second glance
A fairly average-looking run on a stream. Or is it? I’d been fishing a small native cutthroat trout stream in eastern Idaho, and came upon what, at first blush, looked to be a fairly featureless stretch of stream. But, as I got closer, I noticed a few things. The long “slick,” as I’ve taken to

What do trout hear?
I get lots of questions about trout, but many of them come this time of year. The sunlight shows itself for short periods, and the nights are long and cold. Seeing ice on riverbanks and entire lakes frozen over, people begin to think about what happens to the species that swim under their surfaces. What
Summer reading: ‘The Emerald Mile’

Video spotlight: Fighting Big Fish with a Fly Rod
Now, most of us will never stand on the bow of a boat in the waters off of San Diego and battle a 200-pound mako shark. But, if you fish long enough, you will get the opportunity to battle big fish, whether it’s a big smallmouth bass, a fat rainbow in a spring creek, a
Barriers limit cutthroat trout migration
We are broadly familiar with the plight of the salmon, hatching in freshwater, moving downstream as smolts and, entering the ocean. Their magnificent return to the rivers during spawning migrations, hundreds of miles up the Columbia and Salmon rivers, illustrates fish movements at a grand scale. Few people know the same phenomenon occurs with inland native trout such as the cutthroat
