A Beginner’s Guide to Fly Tying
Fly tying is as much an art as it is a useful skill for anglers to create their own flies. It is also a never-ending learning experience, with new patterns and techniques coming out each year. Much like fly fishing itself, fly tying can be intimidating for beginners who don’t know where to start. But with the basic tools and techniques, anglers can begin tying their own flies and, eventually, develop unique patterns for their home waters.
Fisherman Survives Brutal Shark Attack at Marina Dock
Don’t read this article if you’re scared of sharks. Marlin Wakeman, a 24-year-old fisherman and charter boat deckhand, recently fell into water infested with 20 sharks—and lived to tell the story. On Friday, April 26, he was at the Flying Fish Marina in the Bahamas. Sharks are...
The Best EDC Knives of 2024
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more ›. Rarely does a day go by without me pulling one of my EDC knives out of my pocket. Maybe I need it to snip fishing line when I’m on the river. Maybe I need it to dress game while hunting or to prep dinner when I’m camping. Or maybe I just need it to open packages at my house. The point is, I use it often, and I’m just a guy who writes for a living. Farmers, ranchers, construction workers, and factory users will find even more uses for an everyday carry blade.
Study: Avalanches Cause Significant Mortality in Mountain Goat Populations
Mountain goats have a natural threat you might not expect: avalanches. According to a recent study published in the journal Communications Biology, many mountain goats fall prey to snow avalanches each year. Researchers have assumed this was the case but until this study, none had looked systematically at the impact...
The Light in the Window
To celebrate Mother’s Day, all week long we’ll be publishing a series of stories all about moms––about their companionship in the outdoors, about them encouraging us to hunt and fish, and about how we wouldn’t be where we are, or who we are, without them. Fittingly, we’re calling this series “Thanks, Mom.”
How to Pick the Right Fishing Guide
Twenty minutes after we launched on the Delaware River, the worst fishing guide I ever hired told me he hated his job and that I was stupid for expecting to catch muskies there in April. He failed to mention either of these fun facts when I first called him—and before he cashed my deposit check. That was many years ago, and if I had taken the time to vet the guy first instead of trusting a business card, I might not have endured such an awkward, hopeless day. I swore I’d never make that mistake again.
Turkey Hunter’s Two-Year Chase Ends with a Cinnamon-Phase “Once-In-a-Lifetime Bird”
A Georgia hunter who bagged a rare cinnamon phase turkey that he’d been hunting for two years says he almost let the gobbler walk after being struck by the vividly colored bird’s beauty. “When it came out and the sunlight hit him, I just sat there and looked...
Bill That Would Delist Gray Wolves Passes U.S. House—Will it Clear the Senate?
On April 30, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would direct the Secretary of the Interior to remove gray wolves from federal protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). HR764, or the Trust the Science Act, skirted through on an extremely slim margin in a vote that broke down along party lines. But even if it manages pass the Senate, supporters worry that the bill will be vetoed by the Biden Administration, which indicated strong opposition to the measure in a recent statement.

Indiana Angler’s Jumbo Perch Breaks 43-Year-Old State Record
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ (IDNR) long-standing record for yellow perch was shattered last month, according to an IDNR Facebook post from May 1. Angler Blas Lara caught the new record fish—a 3-pound, 2-ounce jumbo perch—while participating in the Mayor’s Fishing Derby in Hammond, Indiana on the shores of Lake Michigan. It outweighed the old record fish, caught in 1981, by nearly a full pound.

How to Target Bass Around Bream Beds
Bluegill, sunfish, shellcracker, and other bream species are abundant across much of North America. These popular panfish are widely accessible and offer anglers exciting action throughout the year. In the spring, these bream will move into shallow areas to spawn. While this is the best time to hook a record panfish, it is also a great time of year to target big bass.
My Favorite Day of the Year
“In the Army,” the recruiting ads used to say, “you’ll do more before 9:00 o’clock than most people do all day.” Turkey hunting can be the same. It was 8:37 a.m. when I pulled the trigger on my second and last tom of the season. Not only had I done more before 9:00 o’clock than most people would do all day, I’d done it with 23 minutes to spare. My reward was the remainder of a long spring day to do absolutely nothing. The day I shoot a turkey is my favorite day of the year.
Angler Breaks Line-Class World Record for Alligator Gar Then Boats 200-Pound Alligator Snapping Turtle
Kentucky angler Art Weston added yet another massive alligator gar to his already impressive list of International Gamefish Association (IGFA) records for the species last month, catching a 188-pound 7-footer on 4-pound line while fishing Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas on April 7. Weston was fishing with Kirk Kirkland, the...
These Binoculars Are Changing the Way I Hunt and Scout for Big Game—Here’s Why
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more ›. Back in early April, I hung up the pair of Vortex Diamondback binoculars I’ve been abusing for the better part of four years and put a pair of Sig Sauer Zulu6 binos in my chest pack. With a magnification of 16X, the Zulu6’s have the ability to get a heck of a lot closer to game than my standard 10X glass, but they don’t come with the typical shakiness you’d expect from such powerful magnification thanks to their built-in electronic image stabilizing technology.

The 10 Best Yeti Cooler Alternatives
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more ›. Some people collect shoes, I collect coolers. To the point where half of our basement storage room looks like you’ve walked into the camping section of Bass Pro Shops, with almost every Yeti cooler along with a handful of others thrown in there for good measure. It’s pretty bad (or good, depending on how you look at it). All that to say, I know a thing or two about what makes a good cooler.
