The True Cast – It’s book season
One of the things I like most about fly fishing is its strong literary tradition. I truly cannot think of another outdoor sport that’s had as many books and stories written about it.

High water fishing tips?
A fly fisher in Stanley, Idaho, casts to the edges of the Salmon River during high water over the weekend. I spent the weekend driving along a couple of Idaho’s more fabled trout waters—first, the Salmon near the “top of Idaho” in Stanely, and then the Big Wood as it roars through Ketchum near Sun…
Short casts: Golden trout in the Beartooths; new Korker boots; mayflies on the South Island
My buddy Matthew Reilly had the chance recently to wander in the remote Beartooths along the Montana-Wyoming border in search of golden trout. Native to the California Sierra, these rare cousins of rainbows and cutthroats occupy a few lakes in the high country just east of Yellowstone National Park, and, while they don’t necessarily get…

Got 5 minutes to watch a new video on cleaning your fishing gear? It might just save your favorite river.

With…

They don’t call it Paradise Valley for nothing. And right at the mouth of Paradise Valley, on the very banks of the river, is Sweetwater Fly Shop.
Voices from the River: The Princess
Photo by Rachel Andona By Chris Hunt A year ago, I was well into the British Columbian interior, motoring north toward my eventual destination at Deadhorse on the Arctic Ocean, a new camper in tow, many miles to go and about six weeks to get there and back. It was a marathon pocked by dozens…

The decade of recovery
I often think of my life in decade intervals. The first ten years was the goofball phase; 11-20 years old involved anything with a ball; 21-30 was consumed by conservation—you get the idea. If we are lucky, we will get eight or nine of these opportunities to think about the new decade in front of…

Video spotlight: Fly fishing the Delta
Not too long ago, the Sacramento River Delta was almost exclusively a salmon and steelhead fishery—kings would stage in great numbers before taking to the river and running throughout the system. Same with chromers. Today, the delta is likely better known for its striped bass and smallmouth bass fisheries, as well as for its carp,…
