“It’s just ten minutes of dirt, and then we’ll be able to fish all day!” The photo above is particularly painful for me. This shot was taken on a TU media tour a decade ago, when I and a host of TU staffers hosted several reporters, photographers and TV personalities on trip into the Wyoming…

Granted, that weight looks like a 90-foot piece of spaghetti. But unlike conventional fishing, where the weight is concentrated at the lure (or bait), you cast and the…

We had a great event sharing information, learning from one another, from partners and TU staff and developing strategies and tactics to take home to our local chapters and state councils. Thanks to our hosts from the Georgia…
With terrestrial season coming on strong throughout the country, it’s an obvious time to start flinging a hopper-dropper rig. But what’s the best way to do it? What knots make the most sense? How far below the high-floating hopper should the “dropper” nymph be? Here’s a great short video from the New Fly Fisher that…
