For many of us, the complex pastime of fly fishing is—as John Voelker once wrote—“an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion.” In This Artful Sport (Lyons Press, 2024), Paul Schullery and Steve Raymond show us how writing about fly fishing can be as intricate, demanding, and rewarding as the sport itself.

Deals, discounts, specials, countdowns, BOGO offers, and the like are ubiquitous during the holidays. Anglers and other could-be consumers are inundated with all manner of offers that we supposedly must take advantage of, lest regret consume our souls.

It seems harder and harder to know what's worth coveting and what's worth ignoring. Gear reviews are a great way to explore in-depth what might be right for you, but not every piece of gear is suited to a full-length review and, even if it were, there's simply too much of it to get to. With that in mind, we periodically showcase what's working for us right now, to hopefully offer more helpful feedback on gear that's worthy of your attention.
