Conservation is a marathon, and if ever we needed proof, consider what is playing out in the U.S. Supreme Court.
I don’t believe that any of us are “average TU members.” Each of us have much to offer. Take a chance. Reach out. Share your passion
September is Public Lands Month, and few places are more important to trout and salmon than our public lands. Half of all the blue-ribbon trout streams in the West, for example, flow across public lands. Our public lands are often the last and best strongholds for many species of native trout and char. My exposure…
I’m just going to go out on a limb here and guess the phrase “critical minerals” doesn’t mean much to you. In fact you might already be glazing over. But what if I told you that critical minerals helped you catch that monster brown you found lurking under that log – the one you pulled in with the beadhead dropper on…
The drought and hot temperatures have us all hiking a little longer and a little higher to get to the fishing. If you’re one of those people who gets the hangries (I’ll just go ahead and raise my hand here), then finding a good energy bar for your backpack or fishing pack is a must.…

From big rod makers to small tackle shops, the fly industry makes caring for our waters part of the mission.
When the world feels on the brink, can a child bring us back?

I have often heard of a seemingly mythical place where you don’t really care if you catch any fish or not. “Bull-corn,” I thought.
The “Gunnimoon” is done! On top of that, it has already completed its maiden voyage, a 20 day trip down the Grand Canyon.
Fishing has always been a part of my life, starting with bait casters and Powerbait on family camping trips. I got my first fly rod around the age of 13 and only managed to master wind knots

The author shows off a bright steelhead pulled from a Great Lakes tributary. By Chad Tokowicz Fly fishing is more than a hobby. The sport has allowed me to develop a closer relationship with the various places I have called home. Fly fishing helps me align with the rhythm of the natural world, providing a…
