In a recent article appearing in Coastal Angler/The Angler magazines, we explored tips on Side Imaging and how it helps identify which side of the boat bait and fish might be on. While this is self-evident, there are always those that are skeptical. Even anglers who have purchased the technology rarely employ it like they could or should. Editorial StaffJan 25th, 2015
My old red reel and glass rod that I started out bass fishing with nearly 40 years ago were not exactly light, nor were they as sensitive as today’s precision-made reels and rods. I did catch a lot of bass with that rod fishing after school in nearby farm ponds. Fast-forward to present, and today there are stock rods available at your local independent tackle shop that weigh mere ounces in total compared to my first rig. But how important is shaving all that weight?Editorial StaffJan 23rd, 2015

It’s important for anglers to be aware of how environmental factors influence species abundance, and how they, as anglers, can sometimes offset the negative effects caused by natural events.Editorial StaffJan 21st, 2015

Snowbird Creek, and its main tributary Big Snowbird Creek, are places fly anglers could spend days exploring and still leave water untouched. On its top end, Big Snowbird is one of the largest remaining flows populated with native southern Appalachian brook trout. On its lower end, near its mouth at Lake Santeetlah, Snowbird plays host to an annual migration of lake-run rainbows that reach lengths well in excess of 20 inches.Nick CarterOct 23rd, 2025
