Chicago

Chicago

Chicago, Illinois, US Chicago might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of a fly fishing destination, but as the former home of DUN Magazine we have to mention it. Chicago is the home of deep dish pizza, Italian beef, prohibition, and amazing carp fishing. Carp fishing is said to be like bone fishing, but in our minds it’s much harder. Even with the perfect cast and the right fly more often then not these fish will give you the fin and swim away. But, once you hook one of th

What to Wear Under Your Waders

What to Wear Under Your Waders

What is the universe made of? What genetic changes made us uniquely human? Are we alone in the universe? What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt? What should I wear under my waders? These age-old questions, specifically the wader question, have haunted many a human. How many times have you stood over your suitcase, every dresser drawer open, and every item of outdoor clothing you own strewn across your bed? It embarrasses me to say that this happens almost every time I pack for a fishing trip.

Reading Between the Fly Line

Reading Between the Fly Line

When I first started fishing, I owned one five weight rod and one five weight line. It was the line that the fly shop owner suggested and told me would be perfect for the Sage Light Line I had just purchased. I almost swallowed my tongue when I realized that line I had just plunked on the counter was over $100.00. I’d like to think that the line made all the difference, but honestly I can’t remember. It was all so new, and so confusing those early days, that I have blocked it out of my memory. F

Superior Bathhouse Brewery

Superior Bathhouse Brewery

Located on the main thoroughfare in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the most unusual story. It combines a U.S. national park, a hot spring, and some really great craft beer. It was just by happenstance that I came across a woman-owned brewery called Superior Bathhouse Brewery. There are many things that make this brewery exceptionally interesting, including being the only brewery inside of a national park, being located inside a bathhouse, and the only one in the world (that we could find) using therma

Wilderness Disorder

Wilderness Disorder

Adventure and wilderness experiences heal our souls. We get out in wilderness in many different ways, and for a variety of reasons. There is a theme that runs common for those of us who are driven toward our passions—Joy. What is it that is the undercurrent of the joy we experience through adventuring? Answering this question is where each story becomes real. Uncovering our reasons, unique to all of us, can reveal our hearts. Behind every reason we give for making adventure happen in our lives,

The Loop to Loop Connection

The Loop to Loop Connection

The loop-to-loop connection is one of those simple, but really complicated things. Once you are comfortable making this connection, you can use it for all sorts of things.  The most common use for the loop-to-loop connection is connecting your leader to the fly line.  Gone are the days of having to know how to tie a nail knot just to go fishing.  A loop-to-loop connection is also used when connecting your fly line to backing and it can be used to connect bulky bite tippet to your class tippet wh

Putting your fly rod together

Putting your fly rod together

I love it when you learn a new trick to something that you’ve been doing your whole fishing career.  Many of you already know this one, but for those of you who don’t – you’re going to thank me for putting in something so basic.  It will be an “A-Ha!” moment. Assemble your rod from the tip down. This way of assembling your fly rod removes the step of having to try to find a place to set the butt section of the rod during assembly.  If you’re like me and a bit neurotic about scratching your rod,
