And Trevor Sithole, who lives in the village of Thendela in the KwaZulu province of South Africa, guides anglers for browns in his local…
By Matt Barney A new Angler Science project from Trout Unlimited aims to mobilize our members to contribute their field observations and help scientists understand an organism that can dramatically impact trout waters. Didymo, more colorfully known as rock snot, has been labeled an invasive species in the past, and many anglers associate it with…
Corey Fisher casts in the grottos of Parachute Creek atop the Roan Plateau in 2009. You haven’t lived dangerously until you’ve subjected a rental car to the JQS Road. OK, sure.

In Wisconsin, you’ll find us at work where roads intersect with chilly, clean waters in the North Country.
Tracking how and when fish move to different habitats, and the different biological strategies they use, lets us learn about their basic ecology and understand how to sustain and restore what they need to thrive. It also helps verify the success of our restoration work when we confirm that fish are accessing and using restored…
