Some fish are just plain strange-looking, and the tripletail is one of them. This odd fish gets its name from the way its dorsal and anal fins stretch back near the tail, giving the appearance of three tails instead of one. Tripletails are known for floating on their sides near the surface of the...
I’m typically a late adopter of fishing lures and baits. I stick with what I know works, and once a lure has proven effective, I’ll reluctantly add it to my tackle box (until I gain more confidence with it). However, the Berkley Lab Series earned a significant spot in my tackle box after its ...

Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up...
