You Gotta Try Ice!
I just can't understand why a person who really enjoys fishing would not try ice fishing. Ice fishing provides an opportunity to get some exercise out in the freshest and cleanest air we have all year.
The Kayak Fishing Revolution
Every sport has a beginning. It then proceeds through a period of infancy which is followed by a measurable level of increased interest. During the period of heightened interest and popularity there is some form of culmination where the sport experiences its crowning moment or achievement.
Deer Hunting of a Different Sort
Despite the fact that deer season ended on New Year’s Day, there’s still plenty of opportunity to wrap your hands around the antlers of a buck. No, I’m not advocating the breaking of any game laws.
Making Sense of Saltwater Fly Reels
So you've got the bug? Maybe it started on a local pond catching bass and bream, or in the mountains chasing rainbows and browns. However you caught the fever, you’ve got it now and it is incurable. Here's what you need to know about reels.
Preparing for Grouper Season
I know it’s the middle of winter, the water is cold, and you may have even winterized your boat. However, now is the time to prepare your tackle and rigs for the opening of grouper season.
Fly of the Month: Dragnet
A long, articulated fly perfect for searching a variety of waters for big predators, particulary musky. Tie onto a sinking line to dredge the bottoms of deep holes or dress with floatant and using a floating line to move surface water and draw vicious topwater strikes!

Young Anglers Reel in Sailfish Dreams at Second Annual Keys Kids Tournament
On February 8th, fifty-seven young anglers set sail on 21 boats in the waters of Islamorada for the Second Annual Keys Kids Sailfish Tournament. This free, one-day event featured youth in two divisions: small-fry (ages 0-10) and junior (ages 11-16).Upstate New York Bass on the Fly!
For an angler, being outside and fishing in a short sleeve shirt with no one around should be enough to call any day a success. This day was about to get better. As we cast into a river with increasing water temps and a majority of the steelhead already back in Lake Ontario, our expectations of a tight line were low.

We enjoyed a full day on the river swinging 4-plus-inch flies and catching more than 25 smallmouth bass apiece.Under The Sea – Slings and Polearms
