In good news for healthy fish, streams and communities, administration vetoes congressional effort to weaken landmark water law Contacts: ARLINGTON, Va.—President Biden today vetoed a Congressional resolution to block a revised, clearer definition of the “Waters of the United States” that would restore federal Clean Water Act protections for millions of miles of small streams…
By Kyle Pokorny Anglers creating a list of states to fly fish for wild rainbow trout on pristine streams will not likely consider Missouri as a worthy candidate. However, you would be remiss to leave Missouri off the list entirely. The state of Missouri has within its borders nine Blue Ribbon streams that are home…
I have always felt obligated to preserve the nature that I know and love for others to enjoy as well. I have always noticed that whenever communities or even small groups of people come together to clean up or collect data from a stream, they seem to become closer together than they were before.
Just like that it was time to say goodbye to our friends. We had finished Montana and completed 991 miles of the trail.
Thanks to dedicated volunteers, loyal partners, and strong allies, we racked up wins in 2022

Not everyone is lucky enough to live next to a naturally reproducing trout stream, even in a state like Pennsylvania, where wild trout waters are generally quite plentiful, and designations of new wild trout waters are growing.

Katie & Kat Share What You’ll Like Best When You Join TU this July in Maine If you’re going to be launching a major, family-focused event in Maine after two years of pandemic lockdown, you better make sure to consult the experts. So, when I was asked to put together a plan for CX3 Portland:…
Steve Zakur of Connecticut fishes the edge of a stream bank on a small stream in Montana. My buddy Mike Sepelak is a thoughtful angler. He’s got a steady cast, a smart approach to fishing, and, perhaps most importantly, he’s great to travel with. Over the years, he and I have fished in four countries…
I have a float tube. I probably haven’t taken it off it’s hook in the garage in half a dozen years. Maybe more. Lake fishing really isn’t my thing, I guess. But after watching the video below by Todd Moen, I may need to rethink my perspective on still-water fishing. Granted, I don’t have an…
When it comes to trout- and fly fishing-related video content, the good old days really are now. A search of Web-based platforms will turn up anything and everything, from simple (but interesting and informative) “home” videos to incredible professional productions. The challenge is not finding content, it’s deciding what content to consume. That said, there…

You probably know this, becuase it’s hardly a secret, but don’t get hung up on popular or traditional patterns. Sometimes, even on super-tough, technical water, fish…
The world-famous Ridge Pool on the River Moy in Ireland. Editor’s note: The following tip is from TU’s new book, “Trout Tips,” available now for overnight delivery. If you are working from upsream to down, say, swinging streamders for steelhead or salmon, it’s important to cast, sweep, take a few steps, and cast again. In…
False casting is a necessary evil for fly casters, but it’s important to realize that it serves several purposes. First, if you’re fishing dry flies, it helps dry your fly and keep the fly floating longer during a fishing session. Second, as TROUT Magazine Editor Kirk Deeter demonstrates in this week’s edition of Trout Tips,…
Casting to perpendicular runs can be challenging–it’s often tough to get the right drift. Once anglers master the mend, the next tool that needs to be added to the tackle box to help get that perfect drift and send that fly downstream in a natural fashion is the reach cast. Here, TU’s Kirk Deeter demonstrates…
