Loon’s Matt Callies ties some great flies, and he’s really good at making it look easy. I’ve got a saltwater trip coming up, so I’ve been watching the Loon fly-tying series for some baitfish pattern ideas, and I haven’t been disappointed. Video of Basic Deceiver Above, Matt ties the Basic Deceiver, a super-simple pattern that
‘Tis the season for emerging insects on America’s great trout rivers. Here in Idaho, it’s full-on Blue-winged Olive season (in an infuriating size 20!). While traditional dun patterns can work well, I’ve found that trout are often keyed in on emerging BWOs well into the full hatch. And a BWO tied “Klinkhamer” style perfectly mimics
Featuring Heather Hodson of United Women on the Fly, this great new Todd Moen film shows why those of us who live in the West absolutely love native cutthroat trout. These are the fish that always seem to be looking up, always seem to be hungry and, when we’re chasing them, the wallpaper is pretty
You may remember seeing our friends at Pescador on the Fly in previous blogs or in TROUT Magazine.

I’ve tried the paste and the sprays, and while they might work for a few minutes, they’ll eventually fail. It’s gotten to where I’ll

Like any organization, Trout Unlimited is an aggregation of people who share a common interest – in our case, fish and fishing. One of the great things about TU is the people you meet who care so much about trout and salmon in America. Take Coy Wylie, for example. Coy is a native Texan who
The Streit family is TU royalty in New Mexico
Measuring 20 miles long with nearly 100 miles of shoreline, it’s difficult to ignore Blue Mesa Reservoir. Sitting on the western flank of Gunnison County, Colorado’s largest body of water is a pivotal cog of the Colorado River Storage Project and the centerpiece of the surrounding Curecanti National Recreation Area, a sport fishing and outdoor
A stream roiling dark with Chinook salmon in central Idaho’s wilderness high country. A throb, a pulse of life into a pristine river, the abundance of the ocean arriving in the flesh of thousands of salmon in a wild mountain river hundreds of miles inland. This was. This was life itself, for the land, for the water, for the people.
Wheeler wants the fish back. The Nez Perce people want the fish back. So does the Yakima nation, the Nisqually, the Sauk-Suiattle, the Nooksack. All united to one cause—bring the Snake River salmon back for once and for all. Bring the dams down.
It’s full-on stonefly nymph season on a lot of American rivers, and that means it’s time to get creative at the vise and tie some patterns that do more than just imitate in-the-water bugs. I’ve become a big fan of rubber legs—I think for a lot of stonefly patterns, these little squiggly bands of rubber
