April 25, 2016 By: Erin Block

  • Amos Sharp-Nelson has lived many lives: as a skateboarder, surfer, and singer in a live band. But she recently rediscovered the fly fishing of her youth and talks about her passions, work, and upcoming projects in an interview on Wide Open Spaces.
  • Utah Stream Access Coalition is teaming up with Green River guides and a Season 12 Top Chef contender Katie Weinner for a “Gourmet on the Green” fundraiser. All proceeds from the June 4, 2016 event will go to benefit the USAC.
  • Often the appearance of a fly matters more to the angler than it does to the fish. John McKinnie writes about learning to love “ugly” flies and how it can work to an angler’s advantage in a recent article via Orvis.
