Feature Stories

Killing the Dirty Water Blues
By Jim McLennan

When spring runoff turns favorite rivers into muddy torrents, many anglers assume the season is on hold. Jim McLennan offers a different perspective, guiding readers toward spring creeks and tailwaters where stable flows, dependable hatches, and technical dry-fly opportunities can transform challenging conditions into some of the most rewarding fishing of the year.

Borrowed Light
By Blake Clarkson

Some days on the water become less about the fish and more about what the river teaches us. In this thoughtful reflection, Blake Clarkson explores the subtle shift from pursuit to presence as changing light, moving water, and perspective reveal deeper rewards than any catch could provide.

Superhero
By Allen Crater

In this moving Father’s Day-themed feature, Allen Crater reflects on growing up, raising children of his own, and coming to understand the quiet strength of the man who shaped his life. Through memories of rivers, woods, work, and family, he paints a powerful portrait of fatherhood and the enduring impact of simply being present.

Lessons from the Roaring Fork
By Will Rice

A difficult day on one of Colorado’s most iconic trout rivers becomes the foundation for a deeper understanding of both the water and the angler standing in it. Through pocket water, canyon stretches, and broad downstream runs, Rice shares lessons about humility, adaptation, and the rewards that come from truly immersing yourself in a remarkable fishery.
