Video spotlight: A Tale of Three Trout
I love fishing trips with a purpose. Here in the West, particularly in our backcountry streams, fly fishers can target specific species of trout and char just by choosing a destination. Wild rainbows? Try a great little creek that flows west off the Gallatin Range near the town of Ennis, Mont. Browns? Hit the Bear…
Horses, the High Uintas, native cutthroat trout and wildfire
Prolonged horseback trips into remote wilderness areas was actually part of the job description when I started working for Trout Unlimited.
Red Tag Wet Fly
Wet flies fished on the swing can be among the most effective patterns for trout, particularly in late summer and early fall when migratory fish, like brown trout and brook trout, are aggressive and hungry. Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions ties a great wet fly pattern in the video above. Although originally tied in England…

A summer for Plan B
The calendar said it was June 18. Not even summer yet. But we hit the mid-90s two weeks earlier and the heat hadn’t really let up. Sure, you could get away from it up high in the timber, but even then, on bone dry-days in the woods, when the thermometer is firmly stuck in the 80s, it feels hot

Trout Tips: Beaver ponds
I love fishing beaver ponds. My first-ever brook trout was pulled from the bottom of a high-country beaver pond with my grandfather standing watch over my shoulder, many, many years ago. Since then, especially in high-elevation meadow streams, I’ve been on the lookout for beaver ponds that more than likely hold trout. Trout Tips |…
Welcome to TROUT Digital, the online companion to TROUT Magazine
Well, well, well… what do we have here? A digital complement to TROUT magazine? In a word… exactly. But I think the best way to describe the rationale and vision is to anticipate and preemptively answer a handful of questions (I’ve always found it easiest to answer questions I ask myself, but of course I will welcome and…

Six great winter fishing destinations
Most of trout country is in the grips of winter, but that doesn’t mean trout fishing has to stop. Fly fishing for winter trout can be just as productive as spring, summer or fall fishing if anglers take care to adjust to the changes in trout behavior, habitat and, of course, cold temperatures that might…

Farm Bill for Fish Conservation

Voices from the River: Sometimes a little fish means more than a big one
The head of a tiger trout. Paul Burnett/Trout Unlimited. By Brett Prettyman This is the tale of two fish. The take was similar. The tug was not. One easily provided more thrill than the other, but it was not the fish you would expect. I recently had the chance to visit the family ranch of…
Voices from the River: Mind-fishing
The stuff of dreams, Trinity River. By Sam Davidson The first hints of autumn always seem to bring things into sharper relief.
