Roadless areas are your secret fishing spot
At Trout Unlimited, we know how critical healthy waters are to the trout and salmon we love and love to fish for. Lucky for us, our 58.5 million acres of roadless areas across the country provide just that; areas with clean headwaters where the lack of roads prevent erosion, sedimentation and contaminants and provide natural water filtration systems creating healthy aquatic ecosystems. These healthy…

Enduring with ‘grace under pressure’ in Rio Grande cutthroat trout country
It looked like the brookies were almost certain to extirpate native cutts and that work to improve Jim Creek was a lost cause

Voices from the River: Road trip
By Chris Hunt As I write this, I’m tucked into a cabin in Island Park, Idaho. We were chased off the lower Hen ry’s Fork yesterday by high water, but found some willing browns in the nearby Warm River, a spring creek that runs generally clear, even after a spring snowstorm that hit the area…
Voices from the River: ‘What were you thinking?’
by Chris Hunt There’s a great little run on the South Fork of the Snake that’s only wadable when water managers lower the river in the fall, after harvest is all but done and the demand for downstream water subsides a bit. During high summer, with the river literally the potential energy for Snake River…
Bringing back the upper Animas
Seven years after the Gold King spill, a $90 million settlement agreement sets the watershed on the course for recovery. Ty Churchwell explains why it matters.
Helping the Wood River to breathe
The room is full for the banquet. I first came across the Narragansett chapter of Trout Unlimited seven or eight years ago, when a few frustrated members contacted me and complained that the chapter was assisting the state in stocking over native fish in violation of TU policy.

Virginia Trout Slam a surprising, and fun, challenge
The cast was too good. The drift was too good. There was no way this was not going to work. And it did. A trout dimpled the surface as it slurped in the little olive Stimulator. It wasn’t a big trout, but I played it carefully in the fading light of a sultry Virginia May…
A ramen recipe you can get behind
Perhaps there is something poetic in the fact that it took a pandemic for me to re-write my relationship with ramen, or at least a re-consider the definition of that warm, salty mix of noodle and vegetable

Video spotlight: A Steelhead Quest

And I’ve had the good pleasure to meet Jerry’s wife, avid steelheader Terry. For years, Jerry stood in the public eye, advocating against long odds for the fish that…
Gear test: Tepui Expedition Series duffle bag
I’m not sure why I never connected the potential of a great tent maker (especially one like Tepui that specializes in roof top camping regularly associated with the beach) producing a top-flight wet duffle, but it is a marriage made in heaven. The Tepui Expedition Series Duffle bag is, in a phrase, the best duffle…
Short casts: Tough day in Montana; PA corps monitors streams; Tennessee volunteers clean up the Clinch
Photo: The Missoulian Yesterday was a tough day in Montana. Not only did a train pulling 30 cars of coal derail and overturn on the banks of the Clark Fork River, but the mining company seeking permission to dig for heavy metals in the headwaters of the Smith River received preliminary approval and can move…
