Let My People Go Fishing

This new book by Yvon Chouinard, Craig Mathews, and Mauro Mazzo, reveals the best way to catch trout: simply, with a rod and a fly and not much else. It teaches how to discover where the fish are and what they are feeding on, then demonstrates techniques to present a fly, make it look life-like, and hook the fish.

"Simple Fly Fishing: Techniques for Tenkara and Rod & Reel" will be available from Patagonia Books in spring 14.

Madison River Valley: Saving a Last Best Place

The Madison River Valley, in southwest Montana near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, is one of West’s last best places. Trout Unlimited is partnering with the Trust for Public Land to restore flows and protect habitat and open space in the Madison Valley, a critical migration corridor for wildlife and a world-class wild trout fishery. Outfitter and Sun Ranch manager Craig Mathews explains how the partnership is keeping the river and its tributaries healthy and protecting the valley from overdevelopment.
