When Andrew Fairclouth hooked, played and released the first steelhead of his life, a nice 12 pounder, there’s no way he could have known that a dozen casts later he’d make fly fishing history. But that’s exactly what happened on a spring day just a few seasons ago in northwestern British Columbia.Click here to read more…
Oregon Lake gives up near World Record Kokanee!
On March 24, a giant, king kong sized kokanee that weighed 8.23-pounds (yes, that’s pounds, not ounces!) was taken from Wallowa Lake in northwestern Oregon by Wan Teece of Enterprise, OR..and I swear this is not an April Fool’s joke!
Teece hooked the ridiculously large koke while trolling a flasher and blade rig. The 26.25 x 16 incher crushed the Orgeon state record by over a pound and is believed to be the largest kokanee ever taken in the U.S. (the world record 9-pound, 6 ouncer was caught in Canada).

The Story of the World Record Brown Trout
As you all know by now, a new all-tackle world record brown trout was taken in Michigan’s Manistee River in September. The 41-pound, 7-ounce monster was hooked by Tom Healy of Rockford, Michigan and eclipsed the previous mark by nearly a pound and a half.
Now, here’s the story of the record catch…in more detail…from our man at the International Game Fish Association, Pete Johnson: Click here to read more…
The World’s Ugliest Fishing Hole
Okay, this is just straight-up weird…but oddly entertaining, too! Lombard of the Intertidal takes you on a “deep, deep, inner city fishing experience” that is more urban than even Mike Iaconelli can get you into on City Limits Fishing.
The Monsters of the Kenai
Just when you thought it was safe to get in the water...
So, thanks to Greg Brush of EZ Limit Guide Service in Soldotna, Alaska, I’m going to be totally worthless the rest of the day. I had been very focused on writing my column for Salmon Trout Steeheader Magazine and then I saw these pix from the Kenai River in my inbox. Now, I’ve got a case of the shakes and all I can think about is going king fishing…
And really, who could blame me? After all, the above pic is of a 55.5″x34″ Kenai River king that was estimated to weigh a mind-blowing 86 pounds! I say “estimated” because Brush’s client, Steve Huckey of Arizona released this monster! Click here to read more…
