It was late Saturday and the L&T and I were blasting our way up the Upper Sacramento River canyon – new, cranky daughter in the car seat and two barely conscious adults piloting – when the October Caddis started bouncing off the windshield (more on the trip later).

You may have mad skills, Alex O’Loughlin, but you might want to pick up a copy of Joan Wulff’s “Dynamics of Fly Casting” before going trout fishing again. The idea is for the fly line to gradually release it’s kinetic energy; that bullwhip crack is the noise of wasted effort. “I grew up fishing for trout. I’m not the best fly fisherman, but I can fly-fish, because I crack a whip . I learned to crack a whip as a boy, out on the properties.” We’ll still watch you on “Three Rivers,” though.

The shade cast by this forest insures that the temperature of the little stream that runs through it remains cool

The Panic Bloom : The U.S. could well be in the midst of a panic bloom. As noted by Gabor Steingart in 2006 —brilliantly foretelling of the global economic crisis to come—right before a plant is about to die, it produces “one last batch of healthy shoots.” These, he writes, “can hardly be distinguished from healthy plants.” And so it is with the U.S. economic recovery that, some misguided analysts conclude is now fully underway.

by Michael Adams Lake fishing is very similar to river fishing, or slow-flowing river fishing at any rate. The types of fish in rivers and lakes tend to be the same, which means that the tackle, bait and lures will be the same as well, although you might want a longer fishing rod, say, a beach-casting rod to cast your bait farther out into the lake. Lake fish will often mature to a larger size than river fish, so your line should be stronger too. Lake fish traditionally been classed under th

North Carolina now has 22 “delayed-harvest” trout streams (they open for fishing October 1, but you can’t keep any fish until June), and the latest to join that list is Wilson Creek in Caldwell County , where the state recently stocked 4,700 brookies, rainbows and browns. “Novice anglers like the streams because of the abundance of fish; the Wilson Creek stocking averaged about 1,500 trout per stream mile.
