The importance of aquatic native plants to ecosystems and fisheries is a topic every angler should understand. I learned so much while working on this article that just published.

Across Texas, native aquatic plant nurseries are reviving fish habitats, stabilizing shorelines, and fighting invasive species. Led by biologists and powered by conservation partners, this quiet restoration effort is turning reservoirs into thriving ecosystems.

A little river action as Ian shows me how to fish for chub and barbel on the float in the River Wye in England and trying my Simms Fishing Products waders foe the first time (with a phenominal fit for a female). This is a chunky chub and it’s been a fabulous day wading in the river.

A fun story that I worked on just published in Catfish NOW magazine. I take readers and anglers on a Big Blues & BBQs road trip in Texas where you can land some massive blue catfish and reward a hard day on the water with some memorable Texas BBQ. It's a win-win!
