Hello Catch readers,

We’re thrilled to bring you Issue #86!

In this edition, we’ve got some diverse photo essays from Europe, Maine and Washington State. Plus, Todd’s newest film features his friends of many years, the Hickmans, who own and operate Kimsquit  Bay Lodge in British Columbia.

From Sweden, Paul Svensson is a fly tyer, photographer and angler whose work centers on the intricacies of the mayflies near his local waters.

Sam Strauss is an Austrian angler, photographer and activist who highlights the natural beauty of his homewaters.  His essay features mountainous landscapes, wild trout and alpine adventuring.

Illustrating the summer smoke from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest, Ed Sozinho covers a recent fly fishing trip to Black Bear Lodge on the Upper Columbia River in Washington State.  Friends, fish and summer forest fires make his photos stand out as a classic PNW experience.

Brian O’Keefe shares photos from a recent trip to the East Coast, where he caught the true essence of Maine’s coastal fishing experience.  With historical sights a plenty, wild coastlines and lots of striped bass, Brian’s essay is sure to inspire your next plans.

Finally, Todd Moen himself narrates the newest video in a unique, behind-the-lens perspective on 20 years of filming friends, families and dozens of people who live and work in beautiful British Columbia.  “Rivers aren’t only about fish,” says Todd in his video. “They’re about the people who live and breathe them. Who pass through them and who pass them down.”

Thank you for your support.  Because of you, we can continue to deliver inspiring content from around the world.

Enjoy the issue.

Kelley & Todd Moen
