Trout Tips: The reach cast
Casting to perpendicular runs can be challenging–it’s often tough to get the right drift.

Here, TU’s Kirk Deeter demonstrates…
Video spotlight: Fly Fishing the ‘Land of Bones’
New Zealanders really do have it all. Not only do they have some of the best dry-fly trout fishing on the planet at their fingertips, but they’re a short hop away from tropical destinations like Aitutaki, the “land of bones.” I realize that we here in North America enjoy our share of quality trout and…

Voices from the River: River sunfish of summer
By Mark Taylor The local river is a trout river. Sort of. From October through May the state dumps thousands of hatchery-reared rainbows and brookies into it.
