Hating the Thompson

Drake Magazine Back Issue Content 2014 Fall, Humor, LifestyleBy Dana SturnOctober 8, 20141 Comment

“As with rush-hour driving or the public use of cell phones, everyone believes we need a code of etiquette, but no one can agree on what it would be, and some couldn’t bring themselves to observe it regardless.” —Ted Leeson, Inventing Montana Friday I’ve seen this before. It starts as a spark, then a faint…

To find the fish, follow the butterflies

Autumn Monarchs

Drake Magazine Back Issue Content 2014 Fall, Hatches and Bugs, Humor, LifestyleBy Jason SkruckOctober 8, 2014Leave a comment

In March and April, depending on where you live on the East Coast, the first broods of monarch butterflies hatch from their chrysalis (a cocoon to you and I) and enjoy a short two- to six-week life span. They do what butterflies are best at: they flit around, eat flowers, look pretty, avoid elementary schoolers…

Lee Spencer and the steelhead of the North Umpqua

The Guardian

Drake Magazine Back Issue Content 2014 Fall, Lifestyle, Salmon/Steelhead, U.S. placesBy Tom BieOctober 8, 20142 Comments

THE SUMMER OF 1998 was good to Lee Spencer. By fall he’d raised 77 steelhead to his fly on Oregon’s famed North Umpqua River, landing about half of them. (Spencer keeps meticulous notes.) Yet there was a problem. Of the fish he’d landed, three had died—two of them wild. He’d also once brought in a…

Chasing one elusive sunfish

The Holdout

I passed the Rock Bottom Brewery on the final mile of my evening bike loop, where more than once I’d stopped for a thick porter to celebrate not being killed riding the second busiest road in Houston. Restaurants come and go quickly around here, but this place had a twist: A lily pad-filled concrete moat…

The consequence of Gierach

Another Cup

Drake Magazine Back Issue Content 2014 Fall, Humor, LifestyleBy Steve ZakurOctober 8, 2014Leave a comment

“It took A.K. to teach me how to make real camp coffee.” —John Gierach, “Camp Coffee,” Trout Bum, 1986 “U.S. military satellite captures footage of A.K. Best and Ed Engle slyly and simultaneously dumping out their cups of John Gierach’s famous camp coffee when John’s not looking. “ —The Drake, Scuddlebutt, Fall 2011 “What are…

Trending: Golf Course Bass

bass, Destination travel, Drake Magazine Back Issue Content 2014 Fall, U.S. placesBy Tom BieOctober 8, 20142 Comments

You go to florida to fish the salt. But if you also happen to love largemouth, as I do, and you live in a place that’s a mile high, with a nine-week window to fish for them, then you take advantage of every opportunity to chase them elsewhere. Attending this summer’s annual flyfishing trade show…

Cop helps replace Clyde's tire on the way to Bozeman, Montana.

Keeping it Classy with Clyde

Humor, Ride With Clyde, U.S. placesBy Miles NolteOctober 8, 2014Leave a comment

I wasn’t too concerned about the highway patrolman until I had to start digging under the seats for a piece of sharpened rebar. Then I thought I might go to jail. We were somewhere between Boise and Island Park, trying to get to Bozeman.
