Casting to perpendicular runs can be challenging–it’s often tough to get the right drift. Once anglers master the mend, the next tool that needs to be added to the tackle box to help get that perfect drift and send that fly downstream in a natural fashion is the reach cast. Here, TU’s Kirk Deeter demonstrates…
New Zealanders really do have it all. Not only do they have some of the best dry-fly trout fishing on the planet at their fingertips, but they’re a short hop away from tropical destinations like Aitutaki, the “land of bones.” I realize that we here in North America enjoy our share of quality trout and…
Russ Miller of Fishpond joins Trout Tips this spring to offer some great advice on getting ready for the summer ahead. And the first thing Miller recommends is checking your gear as you prepare to head to the water. Trout Tips | Preparing for a new season from Trout Unlimited on Vimeo. As Miller notes,…
Let’s say you’ve developed a great little practice tool—a fly rod in miniature that’s designed to help anglers improve on the various aspects of fly fishing. And, as noted, it’s small. Small enough that it can even be used indoors. In the dead of winter. When you’re binge-watching Jessica Jones on Netflix (don’t judge). How…

It’s a tiny little bug, but it — and its many variants — might be the single-most important fly of fall. The venerable Blue-winged Olive, the vise-borne imitation of the tiny baetis mayfly, is the dry-fly king of autumn, even though it rarely materializes on the water in any form larger than a size 20.…
Platter-shaped spadefish are incredibly strong, and great in fish tacos! By Mark Taylor During an interview a number of years ago with a very successful tournament bass angler, the man leaned in and asked in a hushed tone, “Can we go off the record?” “I guess,” I replied, expecting him to give me some inside…
by Andrew Reichardt It’s funny to think about how I first got involved with Trout Unlimited. It wasn’t on a beautiful brook trout stream in the mountains of western Maryland or a meandering limestone creek in the valleys of Southern Pennsylvania. It was sight fishing for carp on the muddy waters of the C&O Canal…
