| | The concept of “home water” looms large in the fly-fishing world, but I’ve found that the term has multiple meanings. The most obvious has to do with proximity: I can throw a rock into the Green River from my yard, and I know every bend and pool that holds trout for a mile upstream and down. But there are also those places where you feel at home, where something about the layout of the river or the surrounding landscape fits your soul like a puzzle piece. The Rapid River in northwestern Maine is five-hours from here and I haven’t cast a line there for years, but I’ve never felt more spiritually connected to any other body of water. What’s your at-home water?

| The 2025 winter and spring steelhead seasons look promising in numerous areas. |
| Maybe all that’s left are variations on a theme. |
| The tips include how to cut synthetic hair and fur, using Jungle Cock feathers to imitate eyes on streamers, and tying in parachute hackle. |
| These are meaty flies, and many of the patterns are often complex. |

| You might not know his name, but you’ve probably seen his face in more than a few fly fishing videos, like “A Thousand Casts” from Yeti. |
| The relatability and authentic feel of both the works and their authors draw the absorbed attention of listeners, regardless of whether or not they fish. |

| | | | Q: I love to fish early spring hatches of blue-winged olives using flies tied with CDC, but after a while the CDC fibers get stuck together and I can’t get the fly to float well anymore. What’s the secret?
—Brennen M., Salt Lake City, UT A: CDC (or cul de canard, which means “duck’s ass” in French) is a killer wing material because it looks very lifelike and allows for extremely delicate presentations. However, a CDC wing can be tough to manage once the fly has been soaked or slimed because the fibers tend to clump together, ruining both the fly’s profile and its buoyancy. Unclumping these fibers can be a pain in the cul. Doing it right is a four-step process…

| | BECOMING A BETTER FLY FISHER |
| | | | | | | > | | | | | It’s a pretty little freestone stream that has suffered the same kinds of neglect as the area through which it flows, so it’s not odd to find an old car battery or lawn furniture half-buried in the gravel riverbed. But despite this evidence of man’s folly, the stream is home to beautiful trout—some wild, some stockers that have migrated from elsewhere in the system. I’d been introduced to the particular hidden stretch of water along Benmont by a couple of colleagues, who referred to the spot as “The Shithole.” But soon after, they moved on; one left the state, while the other became obsessed with warmwater fly fishing. For several years thereafter, this was my personal trout stream, which I fished several times a week, never encountering another angler…
