Guest Column: Spare Spools; The Why and When to Use Them
You’re a fly angler, and you’re destined to be a bit of a gear head forever.

Meet Cheeky Ambassador, Tavares Bradley!
We were in Spokane for 6 years, where I got to fish for a wide array of species to target on the fly (and conventional), like cutthroats, smallmouth and largemouth bass, and more. Then we moved to Anchorage in 2016 and I switched to pretty much exclusively fishing on the fly, honing my style and fishing for everything from rainbow, grayling, dollies....

An Interview with Jen Lofgren, Senior Program Manager of Casting for Recovery.
October is breast cancer awareness month - can you tell us about the impact CfR has had on those who have been a part of programs etc?
It's truly a life-changing experience, not only for the participants, but also for the volunteers. It's difficult to describe how much transpires in a 2 1/2 day retreat, but it is so powerful.

DIY Bonefish - Pt 2
A day on the flats is dictated by tides, sun angle, accessibility, wind, fly selection, fly presentation, stealth, and perseverance. Don’t be too daunted, the good thing is that if you do most things right most any angler can catch a few bonefish.

Gettin’ to the Reel
As premium fly fishing reel manufacturers, we know how important it is to get a fish onto the reel to allow the smooth, steady drag help increase your chances of landing fish. There the reel can do what is designed for: keep steady smooth pressure on the fish no mater what they might try to do to screw up the angler. I also spend nearly two decades as a fishing guide and have seen the proverbial shit hit the alluvial fan more times than I care to remember.

DIY Bonefish - Pt 1
I’ve been bitten by the bonefish bug. On many winter nights I daydream about moments spent in that place where I get to enter the world of the fish. In most of our fishing, we get glimpses into the world the fish live in. A trout in a shallow feeding lane. Tuna tearing through a bait ball. Striped bass lolling on the surface. Most fishing only provides a keyhole view into the world of the fish we are targeting....
