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.Editorial StaffAug 28th, 2025

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. Editorial StaffJul 31st, 2012

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.Editorial StaffJul 30th, 2012

There are weighted flies and unweighted flies. So, what are the best flies? The simple answer is: it depends.
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.
There’s a retro-movement taking place—a trend toward primitive hunting gear. Slings and polespears are used in places that do not allow trigger mechanisms.
