Blog postOver many years I've had the pleasure of reading dozens of books, journals and articles written by some of the leading writers and advocates of fly fishing. Whew!!!
As some of you already know, fly fishing literature has a 500-year history – that's an amazing volume of stories to read.
But I did give it a try.
Almost subconsciously I bookmarked many of my favorite passages and most of those are published now in Why I Fish. These aren't your everyday excerpts and I prom -
Blog postThe amazing story of a threatened New Mexico native
trout come back from the ashes.
Yours truly with a bucket-load of Gila trout heading to the creek. On December 1st, 2018 the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish, Mora National Fish Hatchery and Gila/Rio Grande Trout Unlimited hosted a historic gala to celebrate the restoration of Gila trout to Whitewater Creek in Glenwood, New Mexico. 800 mature, catchable-size trout were releas -
Blog postFrom Oregon up through Washington and down to Northern California "The Rivers of the Cascade Range" will take you places you've never been before.
With The Rivers of the Cascade Range I fulfilled a promise I made to my readers, and to myself – to seek out and fly-fish America's most beautiful wild rivers from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast, from Texas to Montana. Mission accomplished!
By comparison to the prior four journeys this was, by far, t -

Blog postLittle creeks beg for quiet, contemplative exploration. If you're a creek lover, as I am, then you'll love this story - another bullseye by author Chuck Sams.
I’m from Michigan and my life has consisted of roaming around a peninsula shaped like a big mitten looking for fish. We’ve got a lot of water in all three of its forms. We’ve got lakes, rivers, and creeks. I’m partial to the creeks myself because in the Great Lakes state we are also fond of boat rides in all three of -
Blog postPublishing a new book can be like giving birth to a porcupine!
Not that I would know what giving birth to anything might be like. But publishing a new book can be a real deal challenge especially if it's outside of your normal scope of interests.
I'm better known for my fly-fishing adventure books, but it's important to step outside the realm now and then just for its own sake. Thus I will, within the month, publish a delicious new book titled STILLWATER - The Secret Life of -
Blog postNight fishing has many dangers not the least of which is being connected to an enormous fish in the depths of darkness.
Author Chuck Sams gives us a blow-by-blow of not only losing the fish and a good chunk of his rig, but also a touch of poise.
Dusk on the river. Photo Joel Tomaszewski The sky was clear the night the salmon stole the fly line. I remember looking up at all the stars and commenting on how many there were, the breath streaming from my mouth in thick white clouds and -
Blog postWith three words their worlds changed forever.
Some say it's the way their ID's clashed like badly shifted gears when they fished together. But, the truth is Kaine and April are fraternal twins - brother and sister - and they're the rare kind that look alike.
Today it started over drafts of Bellaire Brown served at Shorts Brewery after a tough day of fishing the Cedar River, trying to pull trout from undercuts along the bank, and from the several eddies that formed where the river -
Blog postThat single silver moment that calls to us.
In the dense cover of the early season one can spook-up and never see a half-dozen or more grouse for every bird you may be blessed to actually lock eyes upon. And for that one well-camouflaged bird, in the still-green thickness, you may not see it in time for a decent shot. What one will most likely experience is the sound and whirr of wings and, if you are lucky, the brief blur of a gray-brown projectile just as it disappears from your -
Blog postThere's an old maxim that says "Sometimes you have to leave home to truly see it." That can apply equally as well to fly-fishing.
Author Chuck Sams tells it like it is.
The long Michigan winter and Saturdays watching Major League Fishing almost had me convinced to abandon my fly rods this year. In fact, I had vowed not to pick one up, not even for the run of Lake Michigan salmon on the Pere Marquette River this coming fall. I was fat and happy following MLF - the -
Blog postThere are 19 spring fed trout streams that flow through the heart
of Iowa's Driftless region.
Winnesheik County boasts 10 of the best.
What makes Iowa's Driftless area what it is? - Sure, we know that the last North American glacial episode that ended 12,000 years ago just went right around this vast region leaving its high hills and sleepy ravines virtually untouched. Some say the remains of a giant meteor impact crater rest on this very spot. There are bald eagles here
