When will this madness ever end? I don't know, but Bristol Bay needs us to fight and take action to save a most pristine fishery.

ANCHORAGE, AK - Just weeks after the U.S. EPA released comments critical of Pebble’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement, the agency today  withdrew  the 2014  Proposed Determination.  If finalized, the Proposed Determination would have safeguarded the B

Well, this looks like a ton of fun down in Belize. Who has caught a Permit on a fly rod? Show us a photo!

"We wake up every day, and our sole focus is catching a permit on the fly." In a new video, Wil Flack and crew give a glimpse into what the Belize Permit Clu...

As you likely know, "Bucket Biology" is hazardous to native fish. This is a really interesting read from American Angler.

IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE ON NATURE, alien fish have been flung like confetti around the lakes and rivers of the American West (and the world) by bucket biologists, professional and otherwise.

How does this make you feel?

The Trump administration is throwing a lifeline to the massive Pebble Mine planned near Alaska’s Bristol Bay, as regulators move toward undoing Obama-era environmental restrictions that have thwarted the project.

RIP to one of our greatest fly fishing ambassadors. Many years ago when I got into this sport after a long stint being out of the sport, I got to meet Lefty at the San Mateo fly fishing fair and he gave me some excellent casting tips out at the casting pond. He showed me how to double haul that day... he was such a good teacher and full of love for the people he coached and full of life. See you on God's golden shore someday Lefty. God's Speed. MJL.

BTT mourns the loss of Bernard "Lefty" Kreh, a fly-fishing pioneer and ambassador the likes of which our sport may never see again. After serving in the second World War, Lefty went on to become an accomplished outdoor writer and editor, fishing show host, conservationist, and a world renowned casting instructor. A native of Maryland, Lefty began his rise to fly fishing fame in 1965 when he relocated to Miami to run the Met Fishing Tournament - at that time the largest fishing tournament in the world. His instructional videos, books, and articles are go-to resources for anglers at every level, and his fly patterns, such as Lefty’s Deceiver, have caught fish from the Keys to the Seychelles. Among his many accolades, Lefty is the recipient of ASA’s Lifetime Achievement Award and NAFTTA’s Lifetime Contribution Award, and is a member of the IGFA’s Hall of Fame. He was tireless in his approach to sharing his knowledge with all who asked. The tremendous impact he had on our sport is undeniable. We thank him for his support of BTT as an Honorary Trustee and recurring cast member on the Buccaneers & Bones television show. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family.

After over a decade, Pebble mine backers have filed permit applications to construct a massive open-pit mine in Bristol Bay, Alaska – one of North America’s most treasured, awe-inspiring fisheries.
