By Dave Langston We all talk about the fish that got away, hey were anglers and we are proud of our catch and sometimes the fish we lost somehow turns into the next world record if we could have just landed it.

Bass, trout,...

Here is the low down on Mud Lake reservoir north west of Idaho Falls. I have had a lot of requests on the condition of this sprawling reservoir and the outlook is bleak at best…unless you are a perch angler....

With over 10 different lakes that harbor bass, southeast Idaho offers anglers an opportunity to score on largemouth's within a short driving distance from Pocatello and northern Utah.

But, which is the reservoir that holds not only quantity but also quality fish?
Hands down, Twin Lakes offers anglers not only a chance at landing a trophy fish but also loads of smaller 10-13...

Most Idaho anglers are dreaming of wild rainbows and cutthroat sipping flies off the surface of cold-water rivers and reservoirs among spectacular scenery in Idaho's backcountry.

Well, bass don't sip anything, and for scenery, how...

For extreme warm water fishing Twin Lakes near Preston is fishing very well. Largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and perch are all on the menu and anglers can expect to fill coolers on most days in the field.

My kids and I went to Twin Lakes and had a fun time. We fished with worms and the kids caught a mess of blue gil. My oldest caught a large mouth bass that weighed about a pound.
The kids went swimming on a very nice day.

This was a great outting for all!!!

After the late spring we had, summer finally arrived, and along with it came the bugs.

The bugs have finally made their yearly appearance. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. It is bad if you frequent areas where you might pick up ticks, so if you frequent areas where...

POCATELLO — “I am haunted by waters.” These final words of Norman Maclean’s celebrated work, “A River Runs Through It,” always move me, regardless of the number of times I read the novella. Perhaps it was because, for 20-plus years, I lived in Missoula, Montana, plying the same waters Maclean wrote about fishing more than a half-century before. Maybe it was the sentences that preceded the finale — “Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand in my youth are dead” — which appealed to my Irish maudlin sentimentality. But mostly, I think it identified something within, put words...

Even though I can express everything I know about fishing on a 3-by-5 index card and still have room to scribble the prologue to “The Canterbury Tales,” I have always wanted to pick up fishing as a solid hobby. However, I have been too worried...
