Photo by Fly Out Media On Friday of last week, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska overturned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) 2019 decision to withdraw the Bristol Bay 404(c) Proposed Determination, putting back in place science-based limits on large mine waste in the headwaters of Bristol Bay. This victory concludes a two-year-long lawsuit by Trout Unlimited and comes in the wake of a recent ruling in…

If you’re an angler, throughout the year you can search out the elusive steelhead in small creeks, swing flies for all five species of wild Pacific salmon, catch sea-run cutthroat, Dolly Varden and rainbow trout.
I’d come all the way to Alaska and saw more grayling than I’d ever seen in one place. And I didn’t catch a single one from this river. And I didn’t mind a bit
Photo NBC News New U.S. Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke literally rode to work on horseback today, where he was greeted by Interior staffers for his first day on the job. Zinke is now charged with managing about 500 million acres of public lands all across the country, and the best news of the day…
Alaska TU chapters expand knowledge of steelhead on Kenai Peninsula There are many reasons steelhead, that coveted and often illusive quarry, have captured the imaginations of anglers for so long. Perhaps it’s their large size and the almost inconceivable power they exhibit as they bolt upstream, melting line from your reel in unimagined fury. Perhaps…
Patience is a virtue that humans have collectively had to learn over the course of the last three months. Pebble can be added to the long list of things were Alaskans and fishermen apply their honed skill of patience.
We are a rainbow trout lodge located in the Bristol Bay watershed of southwest Alaska. Located on the famous Copper River, we fish mostly our home river with the ability to do fly outs to other rivers.
As the ice began to break away from Alaska’s rivers and the sun elongated our days this spring, I told myself that summer 2019 was going to be the season that I commit to understanding the sport, and really learn how to fly fish. For my personal interest and professional growth, I had no excuses not to.
Oh, to be Brian O’Keefe for a day last summer in western Alaska. O’Keefe served as Todd Moen’s fishing subject in Moen’s new short film, “Alaska Fly Fishing with a Mouse,” that’s been crawling the interwebs with a vengeance over the last few days. And rightly so—the footage of massive Alaskan rainbows erupting beneath mouse…

These students will explore the Kenai Peninsula, Bristol Bay and the Tongass…
A film from Captains for Clean Water highlights the need to protect two critical fisheries that are at great risk: Bristol Bay and the Everglades.
Maybe it’s because I’m coming up on about six weeks of self-imposed food deprivation (you know, that moment when you step on the scale and all you can say is, “WTF??”), or maybe it’s because eating “cleaner” has become more important to me of late, but the video below speaks to me. Video of YETI…
Southeast Alaska tribes have long cared for their lands. Now they’re at work restoring them.
By Dave Atcheson “I cast out and try to be patient, waiting for my fly to sink. On my first cast I’m too patient and snag. On the next I begin my retrieve earlier, an excruciatingly slow retrieve, just a twitch of the line here and there to keep my fly undulating above the weed…
Combat fishing in Alaska at its finest. By Dave Atcheson My reasons for fishing vary. Sure, sometimes it’s utilitarian; to fill the freezer, but more often than not it’s about the experience. It’s about connecting to the outdoors, to something larger than myself, the sense of peace and relaxation that only comes streamside. This is…
By Eric Booton I couldn’t resist chuckling to myself as I boarded a flight from Anchorage to Los Angeles with my fly rod in hand. I work, live and play in Alaska. The salmon state. The land of 30-inch rainbow trout. Home of seemingly endless fishing options. Yet I, a self described mountain bum, was…
