A new report predicts the impacts of climate change on the Rocky Mountain West’s trout populations, and for trouty types, the news isn’t all that rosy:

There truly is no place like home - even for a fly fisherman lucky enough to fish a long list of amazing waters over the last month.
Montana was a little slice of heaven (as if the pictures hadn’t told you that already), and Maine was what Maine always is: rustic, ageless and fun (plus […]

Remember when Popular Mechanics said we’d all have our own fusion-powered personal hovercraft by the year 2000?
Instead, we got airlines that can’t get us from Peoria to Chicago without losing our luggage. But maybe - just maybe - we can get to that secret fly fishing water right away - flying our own personal […]

It’s been said the Internet is primarily a porn delivery vehicle, and I say it’s about time it delivered a little Live Web Cam Fish Porn for the Undergrounders.
Sugar Creek Ranch (an hour north of Mount Shasta) has reinstalled their live underwater fish porn cam, so now - instead of performing reverse trend analysis […]

Original Post:
http://www.blogsmonroe.com/fishing/2008/07/29/canadian-jigging-for-eyes/
When most folks in these parts think of walleye and jigging, the concept that comes to mind involves 1/2 oz to 1oz jigs, medium heavy or heavy rods, the Detroit River and fast currents.  If you are heading North of the border, scrap that idea totally.  Get it out of your head before you […]
