Legend Flip Pallot Passes

The Fishing World lost one of its heroes as Flip Pallot passed away on August 26th, 2025. Flip inspired generations of anglers to pursue excellence and cherish the wonders and beauty of nature. His TV show “Walkers Cay Chronicles” helped introduce the world to sportfishing. Author, inventor, spokesperson and industry consultant, Flip was truly a Renaissance Man. Throughout his storied career Flip remained humble and approachable, making each of us feel appreciated and worthy. He was truly a down-to-earth celebrity. Volumes could be written about his influence on the Outdoor Industry and the Iconic brands that his influence helped to create/develop. His broad smile and warm handshake will be missed, but his legend will live on.Aug 28th, 2025

Sting ’em With a Clean (Snelled) Double Tackle

One of the worst feelings you can have is reeling in a bait that has been "short struck" or cut off just behind the hook. I can't tell you how many times the stinger hook has saved the day when it comes to trolling, bottom fishing and light lining. It is as easy as being able to snell fluorocarbon and even seven strand cable in some cases for critters with teeth. Jul 31st, 2012

Terminal Tactics

It’s easy to lose sight of priorities. Presentation ranks at the top of the list when it comes to catching fish. Putting a bait or lure in front of one’s quarry in a realistic manner incorporates several facets, but none more important than the choice of terminal tackle. Whenever you rig, think in terms of developing a total tackle system.Jul 31st, 2012

Mako Madness

tiny boat + huge shark + fly fishing the pacific coast = MAKO MADNESS! Jul 30th, 2012

Are You Tuff Enough for This?

On the surface, it’s the ultimate Alaska dream trip; trophy grayling to 20 inches, slab-sided king salmon, and hooking 10 to 14-pound chum salmon, cast after cast, hour after hour. At day’s end, you strip out your flyline and let the current carry it downstream to the fish because you don’t have the energy to cast it.Jul 30th, 2012

Basics on Basic Freshwater Fishing Fun

Basic summer fishing can incorporate almost any type of freshwater fishing fun. It can include hard-core constant casting all day long to bass structure or sitting in a boat soaking bait for carp. I like both, with the ease of boat fishing bait for carp a leisurely way to spend a hot summer afternoon.Jul 6th, 2012

Fish Food and Flies

Fly anglers are as attracted to their flies as fish are, and in some cases, can be even more attracted to them than the fish. There are a wide variety of flies available for anglers, and selecting from the array can be complicated. There are different colors, sizes, and materials. There are weighted flies and unweighted flies. So, what are the best flies? The simple answer is: it depends.

Spring Striped Bass Run the Hudson River

New York’s Hudson River could hardly be considered pristine on its lower end. That doesn’t seem to bother the striped bass.

Bucket List: Bow River Bullets

Without a doubt, Alberta, Canada’s Bow River is a world-class trout fishery. Glacier-fed and flowing more than 350 miles from the Canadian Rockies through the foothills and prairies of Alberta, it is big and scenic by the time it reaches the 50-mile section southeast of Calgary that author Jim McLennan called “the Blue Ribbon Bow.” It is here in this blue ribbon stretch that anglers flock to get in on some of the best brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world.
