David Letterman once said that fall is his favorite season in LA, “watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.” In truth, LA is one of those seasonless anomalies. Which means you can jump off a train and fish mako, carp, and calico bass in a day—pretty much any day. Watch Jeremi get…

In 1879, common carp from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., rode a train to Denver, where they were dumped into the noxious waters of South Platte River just below its confluence with Cherry Creek.

Earlier today, Pacific NorthWest LNG—the controversial $11.4-billion gas export project looking to set up shop in British Columbia’s Skeena River estuary—was deemed dead in the water by the Malaysian state-controlled oil and gas giant Petronas.

Steelheading for most flyfishers is a condensed, two season hustle. We hit pause on the daily grind and shoehorn in a couple weeks to fish peak runs of the “summer” or “winter” variety. But once upon a time of steelhead abundance, the windows were wider. And pulling on an ocean-fresh chromer every month of the…
Dan caught the only inconnu. Let’s get that out of the way. “Dan” is Dan Armstrong, a well-traveled, Bozeman-based photographer who occasionally gets invited on spectacular fishing trips with the tacit understanding that his job is to record the heroics of the writer and keep his hands off the rod.
