Video spotlight: Amazon River Fly Fishing

Published in Video spotlight

My friend Mark Melnyk travels the world hosting episodes of The New Fly Fisher, an old-school fly-fishing program that’s adapting to its web-only format quite nicely.

Daughters of Trout Unlimited: Maggie Heumann

Published in TROUT Magazine

If you had told me I would have been included in a TROUT magazine feature with my daughter, as a TU employee, a year ago, I would have laughed. Seven years into marriage, I had (almost) resigned myself to not having kids, which was okay with me. Then, I got pregnant last summer (2021), followed…

“The why?” It’s the sleepless newborn nights, looking out the window wondering what it will be like when you can take her.    It’s putting her in a chest pack at 11-days-old and cautiously stepping into the stream to catch the fish that shares her name.     It’s accidentally dipping her one-year-old toe into…
