Indigenous people and salmon have been intertwined for thousands of years in Bristol Bay, Alaska. The knowledge of harvesting, preserving and sharing fish is as important here as any lesson in a book.

STREAM Kids family event, a model program

Published in Youth, Community, Fishing

Each year since 2016, Trout Unlimited offers a family-friendly outdoor event at our Annual Meeting. It’s a nice change of scenery from the all-indoor conference center presentations. Don’t get me wrong, I love the hospitality suite and NLC sessions as much as the next guy, but there’s something about getting your boots wet in a…

Are you keeping more secrets these days?

Published in Trout Talk, Featured

I think I’ve come full circle on the whole “secret fishing spot” argument. I’ve written three guidebooks over the years, with the intent of helping anglers enjoy the public lands resources here in Idaho and in nearby Yellowstone National Park.

Seven years ago, I asked Marcia Woolman, the first woman to win the Ray Mortenson Award, the highest honor Trout Unlimited gives to a volunteer, what was most important for volunteers.

Pescador on the Fly

Published in Uncategorized

One of the best things about my job – and there are a lot of best things – is working with young companies. These are businesses, often run by young entrepreneurs, who haven’t been on the fly fishing scene for very long. Don’t get me wrong, I love all our TU Business members. I love…

Which pro athletes are the best anglers?

Published in Uncategorized

Paul Deeter and “Chuck Nazty,” the Colorado Rockies all-star center fielder. I’ve been very lucky to have had opportunities to fish with some sports professionals over the years. And while they all have some great stories to tell and are mostly really fun to be on the water with, I have to tell you that…

Athena and Artemis Women’s Fly Shop

Published in TU Business, Community, Fishing, TROUT Magazine

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: one of the best things about working with Trout Unlimited is the great people you meet. Take Geri Meyer for example. She owned a fly shop for over a decade. Over and over, she kept hearing the frustrations that women have when it comes to buying fly…
