We are a collective of conservation-minded anglers in the Mount Washington Valley, located in and around the popular recreational town of North Conway, New Hampshire. Our name comes from our home river, the mighty Saco, which extends some 136 miles through New Hampshire and Maine, eventually emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. It is our job…
There is no perfect fly rod. There are just too many different techniques and types of water. But is it better to go fishing with a versatile, single rod that does a lot of things pretty well? Or to carry multiple rods so you can use the best tool for varying conditions?
“We fish here so you can fish there.” So read the note that I sent to all of TU’s staff on Christmas Eve several years ago. The note included two photographs.

Hint: it isn’t just about the fish.

“At Umpqua, we say we’re tied to the water,” Russ said. “Our love of the water is the constant that binds us all together. From flies to tools, everything we do is made for the water. The Snake is an iconic American river that once supported plentiful runs of salmon and steelhead. For decades now, we’ve tried to work around the issue of the dams with fish ladders, barges and a host of other failed alternatives. The fact is that we can either have dams on the Snake or fish in the Snake. We can’t have both.”

Fall across North America generally means low and clear water, particularly on freestone trout streams where flows aren’t manipulated by upstream dams. And that means wary trout in skinny conditions. Chasing fall trout during low water can be a lot of fun for sight-fishing, but fish are also on high alert for predators and, in…
