The web's best fishing magazine
Okay, here we go with yet another round of the Name that Fish Contest!
The rules are simple: In the comments section at the end of the story, give us your best guess as to what this guy is. The first correct answer wins a pack of C.A.L. jerkbaits from DOA Lures.
Let’s see if our most recent winner, MJP (you never sent me your address to ship you your lures, by the way) can make it two in a row.

This lovely piece of trout habitat has been in Northern California’s Yuba River (just below the Parks Bar Bridge) for a good couple weeks. I’m not sure what the guy who owns the Jeep was thinking (not much by the looks of things), but he eventually had be to rescued by helicopter.
The water had been too high for the county to pull the vehicle from the river until Wednesday. Now, a bunch of trout are homeless…
Thanks to fly fishing author ad instructor Ralph Cutter for the photo.

The charcoal gray skeleton fish hooded sweatshirt by G•Loomis may just be the best piece of clothing ever made!
With all apologies to the black cocktail dress, the leather bomber jacket and blue jeans, I have to say that this baby is numero uno when it comes to the best-ever invention in the clothing world.
With GLoomis’ famous skeleton fish logo on the front, the hoodie is a smart-looking little devil, perfect for fishing on cool days, hanging around…or even crashing your ex-girlfriend’s wedding (listen to the voice of experience, mt friends!).
The best part, however, is it’s absolutely bulletproof (not literally, but it did stop a ripbait armed with 3 dozen treble hooks from puncturing my chest when it came back at me at 107 mph after I yanked it out of a tree).

Here’s a pic of trusty sidekick and deckhand, Reilly, with a jumbo roe shad from the Feather River.
We did a guide trip upriver Tuesday and, on the way home, decided at the last second to drop the boat in below Shanghai Falls and do a little fun fishing. After approximately 1,472 shad in about an hour and a half, Reilly hooked this big hen…his biggest to date. Also a first for me was having to run back to the boat..at his urging…to grab the net and BogaGrip. Can’t say I’ve ever Boga’d a shad before…

Okay, so most 9-year-old kids are happy fishing with a red/white bobber and a worm. But not Austin McKean of Terrace, BC (shown here with dad Gill). Nope, “Austie” prefers the spey rod and may be the only kid on the planet his age who owns one.
A couple weeks back, the little dude caught what scores of adult fly anglers are still looking for — his first steelie on the fly. Way to go, eh!
