Fly fishing clubs are one of the only conduits to access streams in the United Kingdom, a concept that's foreign to those of us here in America. Apparently, some clubs have strict rules on membership, including not admitting women. That's about to change, though, thanks to a movement led by Marina Gibson to allow women to join the Flyfishers' Club. Founded...

I was a fifth-generation Utahn until I moved to Wyoming, but I still (usually) proudly claim to be from Utah. It was a great place to grow up, and some of my fondest fishing memories happened there.

But recent flooding in their native range has prompted many to wonder how the marble trout have fared. Ben Pierce wrote a great story on this for Fly Fisherman Magazine, which...
