News Watch Headlines Registration Opens For The Payette River Games – One Of The Major Races Of 2015 SUPracer - Registration has just opened for the 2015 Payette River Games, probably one of the funnest, most exciting stand up paddle races in the world. Let's start at the very beginning Frogma - Because I hear that's a very good place to start. Although I'm a little unclear on the order in which it started - this was another everything just fell together trip. The Secret to Fishing the Guadalupe River Austin Kayak - The beginning of winter marks the kickoff of a very special fishery hidden in the Texas hill country; Guadalupe river rainbow trout. The breathtaking background of the Texas Hill Country, with its cliffs and dramatic colors add character to this challenging but rewarding type of fishery. On December 12th I made the scenic and anticipated drive thought the Texas Hill Country in search for my first Rainbow trout "on the fly" (Fly fishing gear) with friend and Austin's Store Assistant Manager Ryan Schaper. What Does Glagla Mean in French? SUPracer - To France now, where apparently freezing cold temperatures and icy alpine waters are no deterrent to the hardcore local paddlers. Over 100 competitors braved the winter conditions for the GlaGla Race on Saturday, with cold water, snow and some rather breathtaking scenery making this a very unique and interesting event. Clownfish: Lucky Charms Kayak Angler Magazine - Kayak anglers are superstitious. Lucky rabbit's foot, lucky hat, lucky lure or lucky penny, if we believe something brings us luck we bring it with us every trip. We asked Kayak Angler readers to share their kayak fishing lucky charms. Restoration, Stormwater, and Flood Management in the Sierra Foothills American Rivers - Starting this month, American Rivers is launching a new multi-benefit project in the Wolf Creek Watershed, a major tributary to the Bear River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Wolf Creek has historically been neglected and under-appreciated, in a community where the local waterway has not been a priority. PR- Regional Dispute Continues over Don Sahong Dam International Rivers - Dozens of protestors from a coalition of German and international organizations converged today on the shareholder meeting of leading German corporation Siemens to condemn the company's role in egregious human rights violations from Brazil to Mexico. Nearly Swept Out to Sea Standup Journal - Nick Rarig called and said Constantine Rock looked good and not too windy. I met Nick and we quickly paddled out. It was about a half mile paddle to our destination. Once out there, Nick immediately grabbed a big one and raced passed the large rock. Will Schmidt Releases Trailer of Upcoming Documentary SUP Surf - Earlier in 2014, Will Schmidt set a world record and was the first person to standup paddle largely unassisted from Canada all the way down to Mexico on his standup paddle board. DIY technique for those Over/Under water photos. Vermont SUP - In a lot of cases it's not, but it does require a bit of luck, creativity and the right equipment to capture scenes like these. I recently found a great article about how to create these half & half or over/under photographs. Dr. Bass Cyclone Swim Jigs Kayak Angler Magazine - I always thought of jigs as a boring way of fishing. Something you dig when the weather turned for the worse, sitting in your boat slowly jigging while the rain pounded the back of your head.
