The Silver Creek is world-renowned for the clockwork dependability of its hatches and its booming population of hungry but selective brown trout. When visiting there, Brett Zundel of Loon Outdoors found out, however, that the fishing was only a minor part of the river’s story. Its serenity and beauty – its very livelihood - seems…
In the spring of 2016, a long-planned journey into the Nicaraguan jungle came to life in a way that was as chaotic as it was unforgettable. What began as a conversation years earlier on the banks of Russia’s Rynda River—over a glass of wine and a shared dream of giant tarpon—had evolved into a full-blown…
Three inches of wet snow covered the ground at the Fall Creek Slide, the not-so-well-known boat launch located on a back channel, just upriver from the Spring Creek Landing on the South Fork of the Snake River. I swung my car into the vacant makeshift parking lot and excitedly slipped into my waders, tied on my favorite…
Among the most classic salmon flies and patterns that most fly fishers recognize, even if they don’t fish for salmon, are Jock Scott and Green Highlander. However, many are also familiar with names like Black Doctor, Silver Doctor, Blue Doctor, Durham Ranger, and Thunder & Lightning. What many don’t know is that all these latter…
I didn’t grow up fly fishing. By the time I was twenty-nine, fishing had almost disappeared from my life. As a kid, I spent countless hours with my father along canals and still waters.

During late spring and early summer, the largest mayflies in our waters, Ephemera danica and Ephemera vulgata, emerge. In English, they are known as mayflies, a term that has become synonymous with all mayfly species, even those that do not hatch during this period. For many fly fishers, a newly emerged mayfly epitomizes fly fishing itself, and it’s…
Patagonia isn’t just a destination—it’s a season. In fact, it’s several. The region’s long, varied fishing calendar is one of the reasons anglers return again and again, wanting to experience a different facet of Patagonia every time. Each season offers a distinct personality, a different rhythm, and a unique way to experience the waters surrounding…
Sea trout fishing is often shaped by tradition, habit, and long-held beliefs passed down through generations. But what happens when you challenge those assumptions and start from scratch? In this interview, we speak with a passionate coastal angler behind the Seatrout Science project—a year-long experiment that combines observation, data, and relentless time on the water…
Every autumn, the San River in Poland calls us back. It’s a place of memories—of triumphs, failures, and the kind of fishing that keeps you coming despite the odds. This trip, shared with close friends, turned into something more: a story of persistence, big fish, and moments that remind us why we return year after…
It wasn’t an ideal place to pitch a tent, but I didn’t care in the slightest. After driving 40 minutes down a dirt road at midnight into the middle-of-nowhere Alabama, we were ready for some shuteye.
