Video spotlight: Creeking
Of all the types of fly fishing, from the flats of the tropics to the steelhead and salmon rivers of the coastal north, my favorite is what I've always called "blue lining."

Video spotlight: High Country Cutthroat
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…

This lessens the curve for new fly tiers and for new fly fishers who can find the verbiage surrounding hooks a bit intimidating. To make it simple, Tim offers the best explainer: The higher the number, the smaller…

Video spotlight: Hank Patterson reviews the Orvis Ultralight Wading Boot
At this point, I'm about read to start a GoFundMe account for our old pal Hank Patterson—he's reviewed a truckload of Orvis gear, but has yet to get himself one of the company's new Helios 3 fly rods, despite numerous pleas and the catch slogan, #SendHankTheH3.
