Today’s Universal Fly Fishing Tip is one that most anglers know, but few actually follow through on. After a day or a week or fishing, make sure you dry out your gear well.

Review: Sage Click Reels
Simple is good.
In lots of trout fishing situations, you don’t need a drag system that’s capable of stopping a locomotive. There, we said it!

If you’re targeting trout [...]

Review: Gerber E-Z Open Knife
A few months ago, Rick Young of Rick Young Outdoors sent me one of his E-Z Open knives to review. It was after the hunting season, so I wasn’t sure that I would be able to use it until next spring. I did do some mountain lion hunting, but we never caught a good one. [...]

The fact is, most of the time you’re on the water, a true hard shell like Gore-Tex is more waterproof, but less breathable and comfortable than it needs to be. Hoods are great because they keep rain, cold air, wind and badly-cast flies off [...]

Petzl Zipka Plus Review
Hands down my favorite headlamp. Mine has lasted me for 12+ years (I’ve lost track) and it has been through alot with me. There are brighter headlamps, and definitely ones with more features, but I’m a fan of the Zipka’s simplicity. It is super compact and bright enough in pretty much every situation we’ve been [...]

Sworovski 8×30 Binoculars
Daniel Swarovski started his Austrian Precision Crystal cutting company in 1895 with the motto “Constantly improving what is good.” And they are good glass. That’s a fact. I’ve had many different brands and models of binoculars over the years as a guide and had always wanted a pair of Swarovski’s, but it just wasn’t in [...]

Your Kids First .22 Rifle
I get asked all the time what type of .22 parents should get their kids, so I did a little research and here you go. For my kids’ first gun, we went with a cheap bb gun. Nothing fancy, just something so they could learn the mechanics of loading, cocking, aiming and firing. It didn’t [...]

True, not many anglers head to Alaska specifically to target pink salmon. That’s OK though – we still think they’re pretty awesome fish. Here’s why.
