    Bamboo in Iceland

    Yes, after their efforts to attract tourists, I've been curious about Iceland. I couldn't find 'rates' on the lodge's website...can you give us a general idea? I did find this on the lodge website: We reserve the right to deny anyone entry to our property, and there is a “Black List” to which...

    Sub $100 3 wt reel?

    Here's a option: $38 to your door. I wanted a large arbor for lake fishing and figured for the price I couldn't go wrong. Seems like a darn good reel for the money. Extra spools may not be available. I actually suspect this and another chinese CNC factory are the manufacturers of the...

    Looking for info on a DIY trip to Chile

    In prepping for my trip to Patagonia (last month) angling-oriented books I read included: PATAGONIA, Angler Walkabout Series - book 2 (book 1 is about Africa), by Julian Wicksteed, 2014 Argentine Trout Fishing, a flyfisherman's guide to Patagonia, William C. Leitch, 1991 (so a bit dated)...

    Patagonia fishing and sightseeing recommendations

    Check out SET FLY FISHING who operate several lodges and have very good guides. Their Spring Creek Lodge is centrally located (just outside of Junin de los Andes) for good access to the best waters that area of Patagonia has to offer.

    Fly Rods On Commercial Flights?

    If you are traveling internationally, keep in mind that countries and airlines promulgate their own operational rules. What is OK for carry-on on the sportsman friendly Alaska Airlines is not acceptable on, for example, Aerolineas Argentinas.

    Learn the Fishing Secrets of Hughes, Hafele, Richmond, and Perin at Trout Whisperers

    Ja. Except Hafele's promised cover of a Neil Pert drum solo didn't happen. On the other hand, it's a rare night that the Water Bloa pattern is mentioned let alone discussed.

    California Salmon Stocks Are Crashing. A Fishing Ban Looks Certain. (NY Times)

    In Oregon, Steelhead haven't been nonTribal commercially fished since 1974, (Thank you Walt McGovern!...heckuva legacy!) yet the populations are in equally dire straights. And you don't even want to look at the 2023-24 predictions for Idaho's vaunted B-Run Steelhead. The chinook collapse...

    NFR Wolf Encounters

    While I didn't actually see the wolf.....I was in YNP fishing Slough Creek, First Meadow, working along the bends and came to small sandy/muddy beach. With tracks. I was able to get both a very clear, very distinct Grizz track and adjacent Wolf track in the same frame...a decent pic.

    Freedom to Roam

    Emily27, Those laws, which I experienced in far NW Ireland are the result of millennia of culture regarding 'the commons.' You may pass through, but that's all. (I never once saw a 'No Trespassing" sign in NW Ireland. When I asked for permission to see certain places or cross pastures the...

    What are you listening to?

    A year ago, in Wyoming, we spent a whole afternoon processing antelope while listening to Rory....nobody touched the controls, we just let it play on for hours.
