California’s Owens River offers prettier sections. There are certainly reaches of this stream where an angler can find larger trout. There are many places on this river where you will not hear and feel electric diodes buzzing like murder wasps in the background. In fact, fishing the deep, dark-walled gorge this river carved over millennia…

What would Theodore Roosevelt do? He’d protect Browns Canyon. By Corey Fisher The green drake hatch on Penns Creek. Browns slurping midnight Hex on the Pere Marquette. Salmonflies on Montana’s Madison River. The brown drakes of Silver Creek. These are some of America’s most celebrated moments in fly-fishing, but Mother’s Day caddis on Colorado’s Arkansas…

But, in West Texas north of the town of Del Rio, there flows a river that’s part of a state natural area and accessible to everyone. And it’s an amazing smallmouth and largemouth bass destination.…

The Class III rapids of the canyon are far from the roughest or most consequential white water in the state, though they have proven deadly. As with many things, it’s better to be safe than sorry when drifting for adventure and a sense of freedom in…
Climate change is water change. A warmer climate impacts nearly every facet of the water cycle: increased evaporation and transpiration deplete water from the land, rivers, lakes, oceans, and forests. Warmer air retains more water that is later released through intense precipitation events that are more likely to cause flash flooding and run-off pollution.
To learn more about the Wildlife Refuge System and its funding needs, I sat down with Julie Rentner from River Partners, a California-based organization dedicated to bringing life back to the state’s rivers, environment, and communities.

Who’s looking after them? As it turns out — on the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam, anyway — the U.S. Geological Survey is doing just that. It may mark the dawn…
