"Kind of Blue: God and Man and Bluebirds"


MATT LABASH has been called "[c]onsistently one of the best magazine writers in the country” by David Brooks and "the heir to Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson and other writers" by Mark Lasswell of the Wall Street Journal.  And while the essay he has been gracious enough to share with us this week is only tangentially about fly fishing, we think you'll find "Kind of Blue" very worth reading.  The essay is from Labash's new Substack called "Slack Tide," which could be the title of a stand-up's monologue or a fly angler's tribute to moments when absolutely nothing happens. (Or both.) By the way, Labash is also the author of "Fly Fishing with Darth Vader," which The Atlantic called "the funniest book of the year" in 2011.

Combining the best of jig hooks, tungsten beads, and tried-and-true streamer patterns, the Woolly Bugger Euro Jig is just the ticket for fall trout fishing. Watch Tim Flagler demonstrate the steps

FALL TROUT FISH: EXPERTS SPEAK

We love fall. Even though the things about it that we love — the clear, cool mornings, the riparian foliage aflame — are harbingers of another season’s end, the pulse quickens and the yearning to be outside on the water blazes anew. We asked some small-stream experts from across the country how they approach fall trout fishing, and the one thing they all said right away was “Fall is the best time of year.” Read on...
