Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) at a conference at the Andrus Center last week may do more to project the recovery of the imperiled Snake River salmon and steelhead than multiple…
Theodore Roosevelt defined conservation as the application of common sense to common problems for the common good. For 15 years, Trout Unlimited has educated, organized and mobilized sportsmen and women to apply that definition to public lands across the West. When energy development, for example, threatened the iconic Wyoming Range and its three species of…
There’s trout water, and then there’s trout water that also holds mountain whitefish. The latter is likely healthier. Whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) are often greeted by anglers with the same enthusiasm they might afford a creek chub or a sucker. The slightly downturned snout may not be as appealing as the maw of a wild brown…

The Arctic char of Nunavut, the northern-most Canadian territory that lies just west of Greenland across Baffin Bay, are amazing fish.

Codorus Trout Unlimited was founded on the banks of York County’s Codorus Creek in 1988 by local anglers. Our purpose is to protect and retain an outstanding tailwater fishery formed quite by accident, when a local paper mill dammed the creek for its operations two decades before. The progeny of stocked brown trout took hold…
I use non-slip knots almost exclusively when fishing streamers—I think they give flies more action in the water, and they’re very dependable. But, as age and … evoloving… eyesight are kicking in, tying the knot sometimes takes a while. Video of Super Easy Non Slip Loop Knot Above, Tim Flager shows a great way to…
Tellico. It’s kind of a mysterious word. The Cherokee wrote it “Talikwa” and used it in the names of several of their towns in the Great Smoky Mountains. They say the actual meaning of the word was lost in their language. It’s possible that it’s origin isn’t Cherokee at all, but Muskogee. The Muskogee say…
