We’ve all grown out of fishing with worms, right? Well, maybe we shouldn’t have, especially when this time of year rolls around and runoff strikes, sending a winter’s worth of snow down our rivers in a murky torrent.

A bonus for waiting and watching. Photo by Chris Hunt.

Patience is perhaps the most elusive virtue—instant gratification, especially these days, is easier to attain. And it’s no different for fly fishers.

This study reports the occurrence and details of spawning by coastal cutthroat trout in Indian Creek in the Elwha River, Washington, in October and November.

Eventually they asked me what I was doing, and I showed them. We took turns with my rod for…
When I was young, our family had a condo in a nearby ski town that was affectionately known as the ‘hatchery’ due to the copious amounts of trout art and decorations adorning the walls and tables. I recall attempting to count them at one point, but I couldn’t keep up, especially since I knew of hidden pieces I drew on the studs…
