The fishing community is defined by a collection of diverse people, stories, and brands that all contribute to growing our sport and shaping the future of our passion. However, besides late-night campfires and beers at the boat ramp, there aren’t many opportunities to get together with our angling colleagues to talk shop. Thankfully, our industry is lucky enough to have the ICAST trade show in Orlando this July 16-19th. We couldn’t be more excited to attend, and we hope you’re there too.  ICAST, produced by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) for the past 67 years, is the world’s ..read more

Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut right.” Angler Story of the Week from Ryan Mock, be sure to follow his adventures ..read more

The first time I fished the Florida Keys, in 2014,  I swore I spotted 3 bonefish in the first hour. They were mullet. In 2015, I fished the Bahamas for the first time. I spotted, fed and hooked a bonefish all on my own the day we arrived. My first ever. That fish promptly broke my tippet on a casting knot on the first run. Luckily for all of us, fly fishing is a game of incremental improvement. And there’s no better game than the highs and lows of chasing bonefish on-foot with a fly rod.  Get the Proper Footwear If you are going to fish on foot all day you need to have the right foo ..read more

Upper Chesapeake Bay, Maryland: Perch chowder is the perfect dish for a chilly, wet early-spring day.

Two years ago, Alaskans elected Mary Peltola, a native Alaskan and lifelong angler, to the U.S. House of Representatives. Her campaign leading up to that 2022 election had a fish-heavy tilt and largely ran on supporting Alaska’s rich and sustainable natural resources. As we all know Pebble Mine would have substantially threatened the World’s largest sockeye salmon fishery and one of the most incredible watersheds in the United States. So, it was only right, that Congresswoman Peltola would be the one in Congress to lock up protections for Bristol Bay.  Just yesterday, Rep. Peltola introdu ..read more
