As a son of Colorado, I can attest to the wonder and beauty found high in the small waters of the Centennial State’s mountains. Chasing trout in off-the-grid creeks is, to this day, my favorite fly-fishing pastime. Above, Todd Moen of Catch Magazine, teases us with a trailer on a yet-to-be-completed film that focuses on…

As my friend Bill Hilts Jr. says in this piece about a 31-pound brown trout caught on the Niagara River, “things happen for a reason.” This is a fish of a lifetime, and after you read the piece, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. The human spirit, for all its frailties, is good. This proves…
