Cloud-shadow dragons — Part I

Paul pulled up to the prison at ten minutes to nine. He did not want to be late. There was a light rain falling from a pewter sky, which only seemed to increase the mugginess. He cracked the window and lit a cigarette staring at the raindrops rolling down the windshield. When his cigarette burned down to his fingers unsmoked, he checked his watch, turned on the wipers, turned them back off, and lit another. He rested his wrist on top of the steering wheel and drummed a beat on the dash with his fingers.

Using a mono rig and jig streamers for fall fishing

Typically, fall is the time to cast sinking fly lines and large streamers for aggressive fish. Some fish are preparing to spawn while others, like musky and bass, are looking to store calories before heading into a long winter. By a typical fall, I mean one when water levels are suitable for laying your fly line on the water without the fear of spooking fish. This fall has been abnormally dry in many parts of the country, and my home waters in central Pennsylvania have been no exception, resulting in some of the lowest flows in memory on my local trout, bass, and musky rivers.

Danger, Will Robinson!

Have you ever wondered about our future as anglers and hunters, or about the legacy we’ll leave behind for our kids and grandkids? If you care about the great outdoors, or about our sporting heritage and traditions, there are a few simple questions you might want to ask yourself right now.

First, is poor management of our public lands, coupled with lack of access to those same public lands, the largest threat to our hunting and fishing?

Walleye are the latest threat to Snake River salmon and steelhead

Righting wrongs is a tough proposition in the world of fisheries conservation. Too often, the challenges outweigh expectations. Just as frequently, reality sets in, and desperation takes over. Take the Lower Snake River basin in Idaho. These are rivers that flow from the last, best (and largely intact) spawning habitat for salmon and steelhead that somehow manage to climb eight dams from the mouth of the Columbia through eastern Washington and into the Gem State.

Everyone has to love something that they just love to death

Steelheaders have been depicted as crazy so frequently and using so many different labels that, at this point, it’s become a bit of a trope. Still, most steelheaders are happy to accept the portrayal. After all, who doesn’t want to be known for having saintlike patience, dogged persistence, and an abundance of grit and mettle? But are steelheaders, in fact, nuts?

Stages

One fish, ten fish, big fish, Zen fish. That’s how Theodor Geisel—Dr. Seuss from our child- and parenthoods—might have described the fly-fisher’s journey. In his excellent essay, “The Five Stages of Fly Fishing,” Todd Tanner includes another phase between big and Zen, something Seuss might have called finicky fish. This stage is when that fish—the one that sips unrecognizable flies from an inaccessible lie—is the only fish we want to catch.

Hurricane storm surge can benefit tarpon and snook, research shows

As the west coast of Florida continues to deal with the impacts of two major hurricanes making landfall within a two-week span, the human costs remain immeasurable. With Helene, which busted ashore on Sept. 26 along Florida’s Big Bend and raked its way north into Appalachia, and then Milton, which made landfall Oct. 9 just south of Sarasota, Florida is, indeed, disaster-weary.

First salmon in 112 years return to upper Klamath River

The first salmon seen in southern Oregon’s Klamath River basin since 1912 was spotted this fall in a Klamath River tributary some 230 miles from the Pacific. The fish, a wild Chinook, is the first documented fish to venture into the upper river since four dams on the mainstem Klamath were removed over the course of the last several years.

Abel Reels introduces new collab with ... Nike NOCTA and Drake?

Collaborations between gear brands, colloquially referred to as “collabs,” are ubiquitous these days. Most aren’t particularly noteworthy and as a general rule, we don’t often report on product updates or variations that are merely aesthetic — new colorways, styles, or collabs. Every once in a while, however, such an update comes along that prompts us to make an exception to that rule, one that’s impossible to ignore.
