Trout Tips: Barefoot on the boat

Published in Fishing, Trout Tips

This may go beyond actual trout fishing, but it’s a good lesson, and one that can be frustrating to learn. The simple truth is that fly line piled at your feet actually seems to look for something on which to get caught, and it usually finds it just as you’re making that money cast to…

Trout Tips: The Mirror Effect

Published in Fishing, Trout Tips

Editor’s note: The following is exerpted from TU’s book, “Trout Tips,” available online for overnight delivery.

Lessons from Trout in the Classroom

The volunteers, partners and staff of Trout Unlimited believe in a future where native fish swim in cold, clean headwaters.

While the benefits of what…

Restoring a future with Gila trout

Published in Conservation, Advocacy

By Jeff Arterburn Very few people encounter the mountainous region of southwestern New Mexico known as “The Gila” by accident.

OK, show of hands: Who knows Nate Stevane? If you don’t, you should. Everyone knows that you can’t swing a dead cat in Montana and not hit a fishing outfitter. But not everyone knows Nate Stevane from Trout on the Fly in Bozeman, MT. I do, and if you fly fish you should, too.

Gila trout in New Mexico.

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
