Keeping a fish in the water is one of the simpliest ways to better its chances of surviving. Brett Prettyman photo.

Trout should be, without reservation, the “fish of my lifetime.” Hell, I’ve spent the better part of two decades working for an organization dedicated to protecting and restoring trout and their habitat. It’s a no-brainer, right?
Years ago, I was canoeing down the West Branch of the Delaware with a fishing buddy when we came upon an angler casting in the Farm Pool. We asked if he wanted us to paddle behind him, but he just huffed and took a step back toward the bank. So, we took that as a sign to hug the…

I have the same discussion with a lot of different folks about this time every year. Are flies that imitate worms … ethical? My take? Absolutely. They mimic a naturally occuring prey base in rivers, lakes and streams all over America, and, with high flows approaching in some of our snow-locked rivers, worm patterns are…
Editor’s note: The following is exerpted from TU’s book, “Trout Tips,” available online for overnight delivery. When I was learning to read books, I learned by having someone read to me. Soon, I was able to pick out a word or two, then sentences, paragraphs, etc. Eventually, I was able to read an entire book…

Socks – unless you live in a climate a lot friendlier than Wyoming, you wear ‘em. But that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. How’d you like to lose those white crews and wear some socks that stand out? Better yet, how’d you like to have awesome socks and do some great things for…
I love the way Matt Callies from Loon ties flies. Check that. I love the way he converses when he ties flies. You can tell Callies is a fly fishing guide and not just a vise junkie. He fishes what he ties, and he’s pretty pragmatic about what comes from his vise when all is…

Above, Tim Flagler ties up a new,…
