Hot Summer Fishing For Coldwater Species Author: Mark Wiza:
What summer doldrums? If you know the spots to hit and the productive techniques to use, trout fishing in the Tahoe area hardly slows down even in the dog days. Let’s hit just a few of my favorite late summer hotspots...
Think Big!!! British Columbia's Skeena River Author: Richard Alves:
I started chasing the fish down river when about half the spool was gone. I was fortunate as the fish turned up river and headed across the fast water. I thought I was getting things under control when the fish got into the main channel and tore off downstream.
A Great Lake Fights Back Author: J. R. Darancette (Captain Compassion):

Trophy Trout Fishing With Your Kids Author: Brad Stout (B.S.):
I knew we would never land a 30-pound trout on a Barbie rod, so I had to come up with a plan. Graphite rods are either super fast or extra sensitive. In the hands of a child that just means super expensive and it will break extra fast.
Walking Down the West Walker River Author: J. R. Darancette (Captain Compassion):
Starting near 11,000 feet on the eastern divide of the Sierra Nevada just north of Yosemite National Park, the West Fork of the Walker River flows east then north to exit California just east of Topaz Lake in Mono County.
Colorado's Antero Reservoir, Fishing For The Trout Of A Lifetime Author: Mike McNeilly (Mr. Sockeye):
If a fisherman says that size doesn't matter, he is fooling himself. After I caught those two big fish, it felt like a monkey had jumped off my back. I was riding euphoria.
