• American Buffalo with Steve Rinella - Ssn. 5, Ep 4

  Zach Matthews

  4 Feb 2010 | 5:59 pm

  In 2005, outdoor writer Steve Rinella won a tag lottery, and began one of the last true wilderness adventures possible in the United States. Don't miss his thrilling and informative tale of a bison hunt at the foot of Alaska's Wrangell Mountains almost gone badly wrong. Big bears, bigger rivers, hypothermia, and above all the will of Man--both Rinella's, and the many who came before and who quite literally shaped the animal we call buffalo. If you like the podcast, you'll love his book:

  Zach Matthews

  21 Jan 2010 | 7:44 pm

  If fly fishing has an iconoclast, it's Tom Bie. As the publisher, editor, and owner of The Drake, arguably fly-fishing's most high-concept national magazine and certainly one of its best, Bie has made a conscious effort to cater to "the guides, instead of the guys who hire the guides." Don't miss this unique interview.

"Of course, for someone of my interests, it was unbelievably cool to have 'an Indian friend from Manitoba,' as I described Wilson to my friends at home, always with a touch of pride. A cynic would say I objectified Wilson, that I regarded him as little different from that big northern pike--another trophy from my trip to Moar Lake--and I suppose there's some truth in that.

• The Right Gear for Big Alaskan Rainbows

  Marshall Cutchin

  8 Feb 2010 | 6:13 am

  Ever dreamed of pursuing large rainbow trout in Alaska? One of the first questions that comes to mind is "What gear should I take?" Phil Monahan says don't just run out and buy the stiffest rod you can find, but do be ready with a rod that can handle everything from size 12 Stimulators to size 2 Cone Heads Woolly Buggers. "Interchangeable sinking tips--of various sink rates and with loop-to-loop connections--are a good idea because they allow you to adjust for water depth and speed. Egg-stuffed trout will often refuse to move more than a few inches out of their way to eat something, so you've…

  This morning Wall Street Journal columnist Mark Lasswell reviews the new Fly Fishing with Darth Vader: And Other Adventures with Evangelical Wrestlers, Political Hitmen, and Jewish Cowboys by Matt Labash, whom he calls one of the U.S.'s most underappreciated journalists. As evidence: Labash's ability to find entree with Dick Cheney on the subject of catfish flies. "In a just world, Matt Labash would be celebrated as the heir to Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson and other writers in the 1960s and 1970s who were corralled under the rubric of 'new journalism,' but, well, the world just isn't just."

  Okay, so we all know that Mother Nature has spoiled all of my recent attempts at Gulf Coast redfishing, and that it’s starting to make me a little edgy. But whether or not the weather allows me to get out on the water, I always enjoy the people I meet in this wacky little sport/hobby/lifestyle/obsession we call fly fishing. I am particularly excited about a new friend in Mobile Ala. that I have stalked come to know.

  After three autumn trips to Mississippi which yielded one small redfish, we decided to cure the winter fishing blues by roving over to Louisiana to look for big reds. We planned two trips in January, one of which was a couple of weeks ago. I geared up and flew to Mobile where the Professor and I kept an eye on the weather for a few days. Alas, Mother Nature foiled our plans: no fishing. So we were that much more excited for our second trip this past weekend, and we were booked with Louisiana redfish guide Travis Holeman. Spirits were high as the trip grew near. Once again I flew to Mobile and…

• Maybe I Should Take Up Sailing

  The Fly Fish Chick

  26 Jan 2010 | 12:09 pm

  I think Mother Nature is sending me a message to take up sailing as a pastime — or perhaps flying a kite. At the very least I should get on board with a company that harvests wind for energy so I could make some money off of the increasingly evident fact that WIND seems to follow me everywhere I go. I know, I know. Saltwater fishing guides don’t like their clients to complain about casting in the wind. Fair enough. But a strong gust of wind on a trout stream blows the hatch and my cast, not to mention puts the fish down. So even though it’s not cool to complain about the wind, I do.

  This past weekend the Professor and I were enjoying a soggy evening with a little red vino while trying to determine the top five fly-fishing books of all time. We reached consensus pretty quickly on four great reads, but the jury is still out on the fifth slot. Take a look at what we came up with: 1. The River Why by David James Duncan. This is a personal favorite of mine. Adore this book because it’s really just a great love story hidden in a fish story. 2. The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton. I haven’t read it, going with the masses here. 3. Trout Bum by John Gierach. Didn’t blow my…

I have it nicely stored in the garage. While well organized it does present a problem with freezing. I do know that powerbait does not work when frozen.  I can’t remember if it is pooched forever once it gets frozen or if you try to fish with it while frozen.  It is always a good…

• Cabin Fever? Tie Some Knots

  Dennis Zimmermann

  23 Nov 2009 | 7:11 am

  We all know that winter last longer than summer here in Yukon. If you are not the type to get out ice-fishing and would rather torture yourself by dreaming of fishing open water lakes, you have to keep yourself busy. One great activity is to practice your knots. I would suggest cutting a large piece of cord about a foot and a half long and leave it next to the couch. Pick it up practice a knot or two and by summer you’ll have them etched into your muscular memory.  Which knots to practice? Personally I am a two to three knot kind of guy. If spin fishing you’ve got to know the…

  I came across this Youtube video of someone fishing an unnamed lake in the Yukon.  Seems like a nice American guy passing through, putting together a fishing DVD. He’s got some high quality audio on the video and I have to say his southern accent and commentary is quite enjoyable. Nice to see people out enjoying our fishing and putting it to video.

• Kings on the Swing

  9 Feb 2010 | 6:00 am

  Hot. Chrome. Dean River Chinook. In the angling circles of the Pacific Northwest, there are still some doubters out there.  We know because we run into them. “Kings don’t eat swung flies – you have to force-feed them nymphs.” “Sure, you might hook one, but then it’s like reeling in a mattress.” Folks who say those things have been fishing in the wrong place, or at the wrong time, or possibly both.  On most rivers that still have runs of kings, you have to fish hundreds of miles from the salt to show a fly to those bad boys. It’s no coincidence…

  The World of Fishing

• An incredibly stable jerkbait

  Henry Gilbey

  8 Feb 2010 | 12:32 am

  I have recently come across what I believe is going to be a seriously killer bass lure - the O.S.P. Rudra-SP is one of the most incredibly "stable" jerkbaits I have seen so far, and that stability is a huge part of the appeal to me. The fact that this stunning looking minnow/jerkbait does what it does without getting knocked off course is really important, and I fancy this thing to do the business in some fairly rough conditions as well. A couple of guys I know whose opinions on lures I trust implicitly took a number of bass on the Rudra at the back end…

• Please help to protect the Irish bass stocks

  Henry Gilbey

  4 Feb 2010 | 10:00 pm

  There is a worrying proposal being put forward by the Federation of Irish Fisherman (FIF) to go and allow commercial fishing vessels to land bass that are caught in offshore fisheries, and they claim that the 2007 CEFAS report states that this offshore fishery is in a healthy state. But the report does not say this. And I quote from IrishBass.org : "In addition the FIF propose that they alone engage with the Marine Institute under the Industry/Science partnership in an assessment of the Irish inshore bass stock with regard to future exploitation. IrishBass.org believes the FIF…

• Fishing is so much about problem solving....

  Henry Gilbey

  2 Feb 2010 | 10:00 pm

  Take a situation like you see above - a somewhat lively sea state, rocks everywhere, and a very serious need to keep one eye on the waves at all times. You want to fish it, indeed your right arm is getting all twitchy because you feel so sure there has to be a decent bass or pollack somewhere around. But it's not at all easy to effectively go about lure fishing a situation like this. A problem has arisen, in that you need to work out how to fish it  effectively  to be in with a shout. The solving of this kind of problem or situation is a huge part of going fishing is it not ? I've…

• How much more can we keep on learning ?

  Henry Gilbey

  1 Feb 2010 | 12:58 am

  I was writing a magazine feature the other day and I got to thinking about how much fishing can be used as a kind of measurement for real life. Somewhat deep and meaningful for a Monday morning perhaps, but if you think about mapping a chart of your fishing life, I bet it would follow the same kind of trends as one of your actual life – depending on what kind of person you are of course. Of course it’s this bass fishing thing that has really got hold of me these last few years, but I can’t believe how much fun it is to keep on learning so much all the time. I was thinking…

• Lure fishing terminology - trying to simplify things

  Henry Gilbey

  28 Jan 2010 | 10:00 pm

  The more I learn about lure fishing, the more articles I write about it for various magazines, and the more research I do into the subject, the more I am realising how many different terms there are for all kinds of lure-speak. And to be perfectly honest, it's confusing the hell out of me !! It's like going to South Africa and smashing "kingies" or kingfish, when to most of the world they are in fact the trevally family. Confusing eh ?, and it's similar with lure terminology. So the more I delve into this murky world of technical lure fishing, the more I am…

• Fly Fishing Getting Started - Rods, Reels & Lines Part 1

  4 Feb 2010 | 11:30 am

  How do you throw a feather? You don’t. You tie the feather to something heavy and then a toss the two of them together. This is the principle behind casting with a fly rod. See how easy fly fishing is!I wish my friends Ron and Greg would have explained this to me when I first started fly fishing. I think it would have saved me some early embarrassing moments of fly fishing. The principle purpose of a fly rod is to deliver the fly line out towards a trout with a fly somehow attached to the situation. More about bad delivery and stupid fly imitations later on. The principle of spin casting is…

The more recent ones hold fresh insight to many of the locations and changes to many of streams in Pennsylvania.Before you start striping any line or emptying your wallet you might want to take a look at The L.L.

Along with all sorts of seasonal running about I’d picked up some Black Lug from Wayne’s Tackle in Preston which although a bit lazy saved me having to pump any in the freezing cold at Formby so money well spent.

After some painstaking spraying, the result was the awesome looking Trident shown in the picture. This bivvy will certainly turn a few heads on the bank this season! Trakker Trident Pimped
