Argentinian Pedro Miles tells the story of his fishing in Argentina during the year 2022, and man, there’s been some fishing going on!

Read about Slovakian Andrej Polcic's fascination with the strong rainbow trout in his home rivers

A small book that debunks a lot of myths surrounding trout fishing – including the one that trout are cunning and intelligent hunters, able to trick anglers. They are not! Trout are stupid!

A failed autumn trip to the Patagonia river Limay sparked a spring trip this last November

This is a 10 year old trip report that I happened to read again and decided to make into a small article.

Author Dominic Garnett went on a fly fishing trip in London with magazine editor Garrett Fallon

Now this is not your average angling or fly-fishing book and definitely not a how-to or where-to book for the fly-fisher. But I still find it a very interesting book seen from an angling perspective because it deals both with the fishing culture and the fishing biology - and to a large extent also with fishing history and fishing politics.

The Source DVD's are growing into a series with chapters on Tasmania, New Zealand and Iceland. This is the middle chapter in the series on the goal of all trout angler's pilgrimages: New Zealand.

This DVD has definitely stimulated my urge to go fishing in Alaska sometime in my life.

Some fly anglers are crazy, and some are normal. Most fall somewhere in between.
Meet Dave and Bobbi, who are a really normal couple, husband and wife, down-to-earth people and with a seemingly normal relationship... and at the same time just as crazy as the rest of us... and then some! Just as we like it!

I had close to 9,000 virus-infected files and three nice rainbows this weekend

A trip to Wyoming

In my part of the world, rainbow trout are exotic fish. They certainly are not native to NY waters and are rarely stocked in streams or rivers. In fact, the only river I know in NY that got stocked with rainbow trout was the Black River in the southern Adirondacks, but the discovery of Whirling Disease may have affected that stocking program. I have not caught a Black River rainbow trout in a few years, so I don't know if they are still there or not.

Always remember that January can surprise!

In Denmark fishing for escaped sea farm rainbows is possible when a cage breaks. The sport is good and you can catch - and kill - several prize size fish in the 50-60 cenimetre or 20-24" range in a day, helping removing them from nature.

The first autumn day was a feast!

Austria is much more than skiing and climbing The Alps. The fishing in the clear streams and beautiful mountain lakes is far better than Martin Joergensen expected. Read about his fantastic trip, the clear, fast water, beautiful strong rainbows and delicate seiblings.

Many small fish

The autumn still seems to hold strong. Lots of reports are coming in, and there seems to be at least the normal abundance of sea trout - if not more.
The spin fishers seem to be loosing luck compared to fly fishers - either on a fly rod or on a bubble float.
The fish seem to be fairly small, though. Many reports mentions dozens of smaller fish in the 30-35 centimeters range. These will probably be very good fish in the spring, if they survive the winter.
