On the Fort Apache reservation, preserving native trout and a tribe’s identity. In the Western Apache worldview, humans share the earth with birds, elk, fish, insects, plants. Water, air, rocks—all are alive. All are part of the community of life here. The land is also full of stories. If you know the stories, say Apache…

Twin Bridges, Mont.– it’s not your average fishing town. And Four Rivers Fishing Company is not your average fly shop. It’s a 50-year-old institution that has been the headquarters for phenomenal trout fishing. This is an authentic Montana-style fly shop. That means that the people who work here fish here. They know and love the…
How do we bring back salmon and steelhead? Look to the science. My career in conservation was informed by a magical experience at a place called Poverty Flats in the middle of the South Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. At the end of a long day, as our field crew packed up, we…
Jason Barr, born and raised in the shadow of Mt. Shasta at the tail end of the Cascade Range in northern California, has, you might say, an appetite for risk.
Like many anglers, I often found myself wondering what the fish were actually doing beneath the surface…. Eventually, my curiosity got the better of me
The author’s Adams. Or… a distant cousin to the Adams. I love to tie flies. But, like a guy who also loves to sing in the shower, I’m better off keeping my skills to myself. Of late, while working away at the computer, my office has turned into a remote fly-tying station. I’ll tie a…

This time of the year is a great time to be out chasing trout. Winter doesn’t have to get in the way of that
April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. —T.S. Elliot It’s still cold and gray here in the steppe country of eastern Idaho. Snow still covers the yard. Snow is still in the immediate forecast. Winter’s not done yet. Not even…
Seven of us pierced the Gila wildlands that day, and, despite the best efforts of a clueless pot-shotter, all seven of us made it out without holes in our hides. We never figured out who was shooting or what they were shooting at
Wheeler wants the fish back. The Nez Perce people want the fish back. So does the Yakima nation, the Nisqually, the Sauk-Suiattle, the Nooksack. All united to one cause—bring the Snake River salmon back for once and for all. Bring the dams down.
A stream roiling dark with Chinook salmon in central Idaho’s wilderness high country. A throb, a pulse of life into a pristine river, the abundance of the ocean arriving in the flesh of thousands of salmon in a wild mountain river hundreds of miles inland. This was.

Looking back, I saw Sweet, who had coyly picked a honey hole on a backwater around a small island I didn’t even notice, who was looking upriver at me and grinning ear to ear. At that moment, I remember thinking he resembled a child showing off his hard work.

By Chris Hunt There’s a fine line between fishing from a drift boat and fishing from a source of chaos. The first time I rowed a drift boat, I damn near put it into the bridge abutment just above Ashton Dam on the Henry’s Fork while my two passengers—one of whom owned the boat—watched helplessly…
