May 30, 2016 By: Erin Block

  • Angler’s All will host the first annual Mile High 25, a fly fishing tournament that puts two-person teams in a competition to catch the most species in two days. The team with the most species from a list of 25 eligible game fish wins. The event will be held June 24-26, 2016. Visit the Angler’s All website for registration information.
  • To improve your smallmouth game, think about flies not as food sources but as presentation technologies, writes David Karczynski. “Each design allows you to cover water at different depths and speeds, and with different actions and profiles.” View Karczynski’s list of the top five patterns for smallmouth bass via Outdoor Life.
