Håvard Stubø offers his best Jack Dawson impression, content after a long day of fishing in Craig, MT. The days we spent in Craig were dreamy, with great hatches, rising trout and new friends.

Jazz & Fly Fishing
“The original plan for a road trip from New York to Montana quickly lost its luster when we considered our lack of long-haul stamina and the finite number of days we’d have to fish. Having someone else drive the nearly 40 hours allowed us to take in the full glory of the American West without worrying about stops for gas, food or falling asleep at the wheel.” Photo: Matt Smythe

First, Most, Biggest
In many ways, the coastline of County Cork, Ireland, is perfect for fishing. Warm Gulf Stream currents, numerous headlands and a diversity of sandy bays and rocky gullies provide structure and food for sea bass. Rupert Harvey, Shane O’Reilly, James Barry and Myles Kelly (pictured L to R) know access can be tricky, with a whole lot of slipping and sliding down to rocky ledges before clambering back up again in the dark.
