Expanding as far north as the Canadian province Newfoundland and as far south as north Alabama, the Appalachian Mountain range is filled with endless blue lines and mountains full of wisdom.

Fall has arrived and so has our September-issue. We’ve been busy fly fishing for sea-run brown trout along the coastal shores of Denmark and Norway, and have headed into the creeks in search for rising fish. Next up are trips to Sørøya in search for halibut, and Cosmoledo Atoll in order to target GT, permit,…

In early March I flew into Chile from my summer in New Zealand. I had to check out a new lodge, “Where Wise Men Fish.” It was built by a fellow named Adam Henderson, who I taught to tie flies when he was about 10 years old. His parents were good friends of mine here…
This will not be an anthropological essay on the Sami or the Nenets. Nor will I describe animistic beliefs or shamanic practices, although - in retrospect - I dare say that there was a lot of magic in our Lappland adventure.

With the entire area being covered with lakes, streams, rivers, and marshes, it only makes sense that there are lots of other fishing opportunities at your fingertips.

Why travel all the way Canada, to the opposite side of the globe, to fly fish for pike? After all, you can do that in any random lake, pond or river at home. The answer is actually quite simple: The Canadian wilderness is a place where you can still experience untouched pike fishing; a unique…
