Water Reportage

Touché Blue Line, Touché

John Curran, an American living in France, landed this personal-best 16-pound tigerfish on Tanzania’s Ruhudji River with guide Tim Leppan. Curran was terrified to hold the fish, particularly after noticing the deep gash, courtesy of a tiger bite, on the finger of another African Waters guide. But he was shaking with excitement after seeing this apex predator crush his popper.

“During a float on a New Hampshire river, I agreed to row my friends all day, but they insisted I take a few casts. I made sure it was the best pool on the float—after all, it’s only fair. After connecting with this brown trout, I told them, ‘It’s just luck, I swear.’ Back to the oars!” Photo: Dominic Lentini

THE LAST FLIGHT OF MR. MOUSE: QUALITATIVE LESSONS IN SOUTHERN CHILE. Chad Shmukler fishes Paradise Spring Creek, a short walk from the River of Dreams camp in south-central Chile. If the main river is running high with low visibility, the creek is a good option. It has nice mayfly hatches, but if the waters rise and flood the old cow pasture, tie on a mouse pattern and be ready. Photo: Earl Harper

SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING: BAMBOO ROD BUILDER OLIVIA ELIA'S ALCHEMY OF JOY. Olivia Elia uses a toothbrush to lather six bamboo strips with glue before slowly wrapping them together to form the rod’s final hexagonal shape. She hand-twists string around the rod as a clamping mechanism before using a binder with a pulley, weights and a crank to secure the string tightly around the bamboo strips. Photo: Toby Nolan
