On The Water With Hobie
The difference between owning a nice kayak and making sure it is a fish-catching machine often lies in a few key after-market additions. If you are like me and often fish out of more than one Hobie model (I actually switch back and forth, as my Revo is easier to drag across the flats on extremely low winter tides), look to add Turbo Fins and a sailing rudder to traditional kayaks like the Revo and Outback.

Bristol Bay Alaska- An Angler’s Dreamland Imperiled

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
