The passing of Robert Redford last week has brought new attention to "A River Runs Through It" and its impact on fly fishing and southwestern Montana.

Some took to social media to complain that Drake "turned down" an offer to appear at the 2025 Super...

Yeti has released a new film that I reckon every angler should watch. "All That Is Sacred" is a look back at the early days of tarpon fishing in Key West in the late 60's and early 70's. As with all things fly fishing, though, it's about so much more than fishing. The film uses restored footage from a long-forgotten movie called "Tarpon" that features some...
