I am currently writing a column for the on-line magazine Streamside Canada. In this month’s issue, I discuss The Most Valuable Mend–the Reach. This is a nicely done magazine with good fishing information. Have a look at Streamside Canada.
My friend Marcelo Malventano is continually creating new realistic imitations of the insects of his native Argentina. Here’s one that is really wonderfully designed and executed. You can see more at his site—see the link to the right under his name.
My friends Jim Hagar and Dan Gilliland made a trip the Clark’s Fork River in Montana last July and found it very welcoming. Dan says that, “by Hagar’s count 166 trout to the boat in 3 days between us.” That’s some mighty good fishing! Clark’s Fork is Gary LaFontaine’s old stompin’ grounds, and he always […]
I know it seems a bit weird to post a recipe for no-knead bread on a fly fishing site, but we all need to eat and this is one of the really, really good things to eat. It’s super easy to make and it really is so good that you’ll wonder why you haven’t been […]

Friday night they held a small, informal, and fun-filled get-together to kick off the weekend events. The next morning we were at the River Ministries Church in Lyons, Colorado […]
While I was flying home from Denver, my friends John Beth and Dale Thompson were out tearing steelhead lips–or at least trying to. I say trying because they very nearly got skunked. John managed one male steelhead that was caught while fishing “blind.” They didn’t see any fish to cast to and they didn’t even […]
