Searching 
Posted in
  By Greg McReynolds, Sportsmen's Conservation Project I slam the door and the world contracts into a space no bigger than a refrigerator box lit by the cold blue light of the radio's LCD screen. The numbers on the dash say 432 miles to empty. I'll do that and more before day breaks over the... [ READ MORE... ]

The apprentice 
Posted in
  They call him “The Apprentice” because he has been my personal assistant for all things hunting and fishing since he was knee high to a Shetland pony.

We who... [ READ MORE... ]

A thousand miles... 
Posted in
If you think about it, most of us won't fish that many stream miles in our entire lives. But, with help from Orvis and its customers, we hope to open up 1,000 miles of habitat for trout and salmon all across America by making some simple fixes to our rivers and streams. Culverts--those big pipes... [ READ MORE... ]

Two natives, two friends, two streams 
Posted in
  by Tom Reed New country and old friends. A foundation, a beginning. An idea. Each year we’d each pick a stream on our borders, a thin blue line of water splashing from high mountain hold in country without roads, and few trails. If it were easy, we thought, anybody could do it and the fishing... [ READ MORE... ]
