Trout
Bonanza Thar’s trout in them thar hills. by Buck Wilder The Appalachian Mountains, from Maine to northern Georgia, are the starting pointfor thousands of overlooked streams, where backcountry trout fishing is excellent. For example, Shenandoah National Park in northwestern Virginia boasts scores of trout-ridden streams that rarely see more than a single angler per week this time of year. Hidden in the crannies of Appalachia is more high-quality fishing than most anglers would believe. Better still, most of these waters flow across public lands, such as national and state forests.
ISOutdoors Overnight stays are the best ways to enjoy a fishing trip to a backcountry eastern mountain trout stream. One of my favorite three-day trips is Deep Creek, located along the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Instead of starting at the bottom of the mountain and hiking to the summit, like most trail-goers do, we reverse the process. We travel downhill three miles to the first backcountry campsite. Using it as a base, we fish nearby waters until noon the next day. Then we move another three miles downhill to the next campsite. The procedure is repeated thenext day, where by day’s end we hike downhill the remaining four miles.
With a little effort and research, most fishermen can locate their own secret collection of overlooked Appalachian backcountry trout streams, many of which may be found surprisingly close to home, if you live on the eastern side of the country. Highly detailed topographic maps produced by the United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) are indispensable tools for ferreting out overlooked or remote backcountry trout streams. These maps not only reveal the smallest tributaries to large streams, but also the foot trails and railroad tracks that provide access If you are already an accomplished trout fisherman, how to get there is all you need to know. Aspiring anglers may wish to know a few more tricks of the trade, specifically how to get the most out of their efforts. Dressing right for this type of fishing does not mean you should look like you stepped out of

ISOutdoors an L.L.Bean catalog. Since most of the streams are small and you will be fishing in close quarters, light tackle is essential. If you spin fish, an ultra-light rod in the 4to 5-foot range is recommended. Spool your reels with 2-pound-test line. How To Fish Mountain Streams There are two schools of thought on fly fishing. Years ago, when fishing “bush
creeks,” I used a 6-foot Orvis Flea that was engineered to cast a 3-weight fly line. It was very delicate, and worked well for casting flies up to the No. 14 size. However, if you wanted to cast a larger hopper pattern, you sacrificed much of this dainty fly rod. And while such short rods are very castable on small trout streams, they are less functional for mending drag than longer rods. The fly rod I currently use on small streams is 9 feet in length, and designed to toss a 4- weight fly line. The added length is sometimes a problem in tight areas, but the extra reach is very handy for mending troublesome drag. And when fishing larger fly patterns, I can switch to a 6- or even an 8-weight line without adversely affecting this fly rod’s casting ability. Medium to small-size trout streams should always be approached and fished upstream. Trout face upstream, especially when feeding. By casting
ISOutdoors
upstream, you reduce your odds of being spotted by a trout, but also present your offering in a natural fashion. Super-small spinners, such as those made by Panther Martin or Roostertail, are ideal for smallstream fishing. The trick is presenting these offerings so trout do not see you. On medium to large waters, this is rarely a problem; you just stand downstream and cast upstream to a 10:00 o’clock position. On smallishwaters, anglers do not have this luxury.On such streams you will raise your odds for strikes if you www.isoutdoors.com
stand 30 to 40 feet away from where you think a trout might be. This might mean casting from the woods along a stream, or from two pools downstream. It sounds odd, but it works. Fly fishermen also must employ stealth in approaching trout-holding waters. Long, 9- to 10-foot leaders are recommended, as they help avoid the adverse effects of drag. On small waters, long casts are not always possible. However, if you adapt to casting while

ISOutdoors crouching behind boulders or while leaning behind trees, it is usually possible to present flies to these fish before spooking them. Medium to small backcountry streams in the eastern United States are rarely so rich in aquatic foods that the trout have the luxury of opting only for those morsels that tickle their taste buds. Occasionally you might notice a dominant hatch of mayflies, caddisflies, or otherstreamborneinvertebrates. When this happens, it is usually a good idea to attempt to match the hatch, at least in terms of fly size and pattern color. However, most of the time a buggy-looking fly--be it a dry, wet, or nymph pattern—will produce consistent action. This is not to say anglers should not watch the banks of the streams for larger than usual numbers of grasshoppers, or occasionally change flies in an effort to find the perfect pattern, but a preoccupation with amateur entomology can interfere with your enjoyment of a backcountry stream.

Liberal Fishing Policies One of the best things about many backcountry trout streams is the liberal management policies permitted there. We often keep enough trout for a streamside lunch. Bait fishing is often permitted, as well. Though bait fishing is currently out of vogue with many trout fishermen, it is how I introduced my four sons to trout fishing. Sure, it’s a deadly way to take trout, but when you are introducing a four-year-old to snatching trout from gin-clear creeks, you need to shift the odds in their favor as often as possible. Backcountry trout waters are one of the most valuable natural resources in the East. Many of the best trout streams we have in this half of the country are overlooked by anglers eager to enjoy this type of fishing. If you have not yet discovered the pleasure of backcountry trout fishing, give it a try soon.

So, you’re looking to bag Poppa Bear, eh? by Brock Ray In terms of sport hunting, going to the woods to kill a bear has never been more popular than it is these days. Many are surprised to learn that, in a country that seems to be busting at the seams with more and more people each decade, black bear numbers are on the rise. While spring bear hunting remains the exception in the U.S., in those areas where it is permitted in this
country and Canada, this wily quarry is abundant. Some areas of North America consistently have bigger, trophy-class bears than do other areas. So, if you are a hunter seeking an opportunity for a shot at a record-book bruin, where you go hunting has a tremendous impact on your odds for being successful. The black bear of North America has the largest population of any bear in the world. The average weight of an adult male

black bear is 200to300 pounds, however, where food is abundant, individual males sometimes weigh 500 or even 600 pounds (227-272 kg). Females are, on the average, about 20 percent smaller than males. The name black bear refers to their most common color phase, although in western parts of the continent these animals can vary among several shades of brown to a pale cinnamon.
berry patch.Their senses of smell and hearing are very good, but their eyesight is only adequate. Characteristically, black bears are intelligent, shy, and secretive. Most black bears bagged are targets of opportunity, taken by a hunter who is after other game, such as deer. The biggest exceptions to this are the spring bear hunting seasons and when these animals are hunted with the aid of hounds.
Black bears are solitary, except when mating, or when a sow is with her cubs. They are territorial, but will congregate at a common food source, such as a

because the demand for a great opportunity to take a big bear is high, the asking price for such hunts usually carries a premium charge.
When And Where For hunters who are serious about their black bear hunting, spring is the time to go, as the animals are still in their lush, post-hibernation winter coats. A handful of destinations have earned a reputation for producing more big bears than most other locales. Generally these places are more remote, meaning they require more effort to reach. Additionally,
Looking from east to west, the first place known for its Poppa bears is Newfoundland.

ISOutdoors are doing and, because a really big bear might be 20 years old or older, they know the general habits of individual bears. The weather is rarely good, but the chances of taking a big boar (male bear) are not exceeded anywhere east of the Rockies. New Brunswick is a sleeper destination, where hunters regularly take boars 400 pounds and larger, and even a few in the 500-pound range. Worth noting—the cost of a New Brunswick spring black bear hunt ranges30% to 40% less than other locations mentioned in this article, plus the costs rarely involve the need for air travel. Quebec has lots of bears and the hunter success rate is high, but the percentage of black bears weighing much over 300 pounds is not impressive. You won’t see a significant jump in the overall size of these animals until you go as far west as the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. These Prairie Province bruins have the right genetics, and access to extraordinarily good and diverse sources of food. These provinces are “Texas big” and not only have lots of really big bears, but also offer bears in a wide range of www.isoutdoors.com
color phases. Bag limits are liberal. A few years ago, while hunting Saskatchewan at Cree Lake, I worked hard without success to outwit a giant bear that I am sure was in excess of 600 pounds. Hoping for a crack at this gargantuan beast of a bear, I passed on a number of bruins in the 400-pound-plus range. I came home with nothing more to show for my efforts than a hundred or so pounds of lake trout and northern pike fillets. Coastal Alaska and British Columbia are the most consistent hot spots for taking black bear in the 400- to 600-pound range. The spawning salmon in the streams and an abundance of boggrowing berries enable the bears to wax fat and grow large.The problem with these hunts is largely one of logistics. At the very least a boat is necessary and, in most cases, flying in is required. This translates to higher costs, and is why most hunts in premier areas of Alaska and British Columbia are also the most expensive. Is it worth the time, effort, and cost? If you have the time and can spare the dime, this is the ultimate hunting destination for this quarry.
by Matt Guedes. Western Field Editor When you think of the picture-perfect trout fishing scene, you may envision a pristine river running through the middle of the hardwood forest. For others it may be fishing the rapids of a clean river outlet of a great lake. For most of us in the west, and especially Colorado, it means alpine lakes with all of the beauty of blue-green water and surrounding aspen trees. That is the scene that I want to share
with you in this article. Where I live, at the base of the Grand Mesa, I find myself with access to over 300 alpine lakes that are strewn out all over the largest mesa in the Northern Hemisphere. From the time the ice comes off these incredible lakes until the time it freezes again, fishing is on. For some fishermen, the ice season is also spectacular, but that will be an article for another day.
High Country Trout
With 300 lakes to choose from, the fishermen here have an ever-changing opportunity, with incredible beauty at each and every lake. The fishing on these lakes is beyond spectacular, as you can catch stocked rainbows in some, cutthroats in many, and brookies that will display spectacular color. You can even
find yourself in a battle with a state record at any point. Whether your preference is spin casting or fly-fishing, you will find great satisfaction fishing these waters for high-country trout. I have caught these trout on dry flies, streamers, live bait, and spinners. Whatever your fancy may be, these active fish will respond.
ISOutdoors What Works In The High Country Each and every lake is a little different and, once you spend some time fishing them, you will discover what works well in each lake. There are, of course, some tried and true options. Many anglers fish with worms, meal worms, and powerbait. I have seen varying success with these options. If you’re going to use spinners, there are all the mepps options, rooster tails, blue fox classic vibrax, panther martins, kastmaster and, my personal favorite, a gold phoebe. For fly fisherman, there are all kinds of options, but in these high country alpine lakes you’re always safe with midges, gnats, caddis, adams wulff, light cahill, green drake, and an orange humpy on the dry side. I have found a wooly bugger is never a bad choice under the surface, nor are as-
sorted nymphs. I also love fishing these lakes with colorful western streamers. The aggression of some of these trout makes a steamer a must.
For the serious fisherman there are lakes that are accessible only by trails and on foot
www.isoutdoors.com
I have been able to have success throughout the different seasons of the year by trying different tactics. If you are flexible and open to changing what you are using and your techniques, you can also be successful just about any time of year. Generally you’ll have great success early, when the ice comes off, and especially when insect hatches take place. The summer catch sometimes slows, as the fish move to the deeper, cooler water during the daytime hours. But even during that time of year, with the right effort you can have some incredible fishing

ISOutdoors days on these lakes. I have seen summer mid-mornings and evenings be particularly great times to be on Alpine lakes. Easy Or Hard? One of the appealing factors for fishing these lakes? The number of lakes and the amount of water to cover. There are so many lakes to choose from and so much variety that a fisherman is in paradise. Many of these lakes are close to road access. These particular lakes are great for families to come out and fish and many have some public facilities available. There are some that have easy camping, and even a few with restaurants nearby. For the serious fisherman there are lakes that are accessible only by trails and on foot. These lakes are great hidden secrets and you can often spend an entire day on one of them without seeing a single person. There are great maps and plenty of information available to get you to these special waters, and you can spend weeks on these unpressured waters, just slaying the trout at hand.

The Jeep Wranglers Maybe Headed For Retirement After Next Year. After 75 years, it is still the most instantly recognized sportsman’s off-road/trail vehicle in the world.
By Andy Lightbody
Say “Jeep Wrangler” to any backcountry traveling outdoorsman, off-roader, camper, angler or hunter, and everyone knows what kind of vehicle you are talking about. After all, with roots that date back to WWII with the military Willys (1941), then the CJ series (which stands for Civilian Jeep) and now the Wrangler, they are instantly recognizable with their large round headlamps, short wheelbase, distinctive grille, separate fenders, removable doors and the always popular fold-flat windshield. Today and for 2016, sportsmen everywhere know it’s a proven design that has evolved over the years, but without giving up the hardcore nature of being a back roads, trail, rock, snow/ice traveler that is always happiest when the pavement comes to an end. If you think these vehicles are sports cars, you have entirely missed the point! They are not. They will travel in the city and on the highways with a little civility and a host of nice driver/passenger creature comforts, but at 6580mph on pavement, they are described best as “being out of their true element!” All that said, the Wrangler line-up for 2016 remains strong with lots of different designs and models to choose from for your ongoing Outdoor Adventures. A word of note however, is that many in the auto industry are saying that the Wranglers are going to cease production as early as 2017. What the folks at Jeep have planned for that year or the 2018 model year is “rampant with speculation,” but it is a good guess that they are going to hear loud howls of disbelief that the legendary series is actually going to disappear. Two-door and four-door Wranglers are carried over, and while not as traditional “Jeepy” looking as the “ruggedized two-door models, the fourdoor versions do add additional passenger and cargo room, and actually remain the only fourdoor 4x4 off roader that is a convertible with a soft top. Here is where on several models, the hard top is actually an option! To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the venerable Willy’s model, Jeep has actually come out with a 2 and 4-door Limited Edition “Willys
Wheeler,” which is mechanically identical to new Wranglers, but has that more “military look,” colors and even a WILLY logo/paint scheme on the hood. All of the Wrangler models will carryover with the Chrysler Pentastar 3.6 liter V6 powerplant that is mated to a new five-speed automatic transmission. The V6 is rated to 285 horsepower and 260 pound/feet of torque. The older six-speed manual is still offered, but the new combo is quick, responsive and can run from 0-60 in four-door Wrangler Unlimited versions in 8.4 seconds and a fast 7.7 seconds with the two-door models. While the long-through manual shifter may be more reminiscent of the older Jeep Wranglers, the newer combo is a better choice for anyone but the absolute purist! Gearing for when the Wranglers are “in the dirt and where they belong,” again offers three choices when it comes to backcountry/trail performance in the front and rear axle ratios. Most tame is the standard 3.21:1 that is a good choice for most city/highway use and light off-roading. With this base package, the Wrangler only has to shift once to get up to 60mph. Stepping up is the taller 3.73:1 gearing, which will be the standard offering on the Willys Wheeler edition for this year. At the top of hill is the slow-crawling, max off road performance with the “tall gear” package that features 4:10:1 ratios that are available for the Rubicon models. Head to the exterior and a walk-around, and the Wrangler for 2016 is all “Jeep.” If you are into really, really, heading to the back country and areas, where few would ever follow or challenge you, the Rubicon is the top-of-the-line Off Roader, and with good reason. It is lean, mean, unchanged and ready to hit the dirt and trails. It has a suspension system that is built for the rough stuff. It is geared for the dirt, has skid plates to protect you when you are rock crawling, and gear/axle ratios designed to get you in…. and out of trouble. Now that you are ready for the rough stuff, crawl into the Wrangler, and even the Rubicon… and
it becomes a whole new world. Instead of WWII basics, you are met with a luxury and opulence that is hard to imagine. Imagine if you can, but you can enjoy…. Depending on how you want your Rubicon or any Wrangler, you have plush seating, and more electronics than you can imagine. Plush… if you want it, or hardcore Jeep… if you do not. Hardcore? You want the Rubicon series, for it maintains the true off-road Jeep. Want to tame it down? Jeep gives you a host of options for the Wrangler models for civilized on-road and off-road driving options. As the oldest, most recognizable 4x4 and off road vehicle in the world, what else can you want or what else can you say? It’s the Jeep. It started as a Willys for the military, evolved to a CJ for decades, and is going to finish off its linage as the Wrangler that we all know and love.
Smokin’ and Sizzlin’ Wild Game Breakfast Sausage Any wild pork, any wild game or domestic grind can be turned into the best feast for morning eats!
By Andy Lightbody
One of the best ways to wake up in the morning is to the smell of fresh coffee, and something sizzling on the grill or in the frying pan. One of the best treats that are simple and easy to make is homemade sausage patties! And while ground pork is likely to be the top choice for most folks, you can make great sausage patties with everything from venison and elk to domestic beef. It just comes down to what you like and what you have in your freezer. Remember, now is the time to start clearing and cleaning out some of that leftover big game meats, before you forget about it and let it get freezer burned! Commercial breakfast sausage is made for the “masses,” and is usually lacking in great taste. Pork sausage bought at the grocery store either has too much or too little fat, so you are going to end up with a “grease patty” or a dry piece of fried cardboard! While starting with ground meats is the easiest, turning a lot of those tougher wild game cuts or stew meat into a flavorful grind is a great way to clear out the “freezer last-season-left-over’s,” and make it into a bunch of sausage patties that can be processed, cooked and then frozen for later use as “meat-on-the-side,” or some great eating breakfast sandwiches on everything from a croissant or English muffin to your favorite biscuits! If you are using wild game or wild pork, make sure that your sausage grind has enough natural fat. Ideally you want a mix of around 70 percent meat and 30 percent fat. Pork fat or beef suet is available at virtually all grocery stores. Often times, wild game/pork is processed from your game-processor on the “lean side,” and you want the extra fat to retain moisture and add sizzle-flavor.
If you are using your freezer-leftovers (old big game roasts, steaks, jerky trim, and stew meat) and are going to grind your own, set your grinder up with either the medium or coarse blade. Here again, you can add the extra fat by simply adding suet or fat to make your own 70/30 blend. Smokehouse Product’s “spice masters,” have come up with four different flavors that are sure to please just about anyone’s pallet. Venison, Wild Game, Classic, and Zesty Western flavors. (www. smokehouseproducts.com) Classic: Lots of sage with a bold and hearty traditional flavor that is reminiscent of the great-tasting sausage patties we all know and love. Wild Game: A great blend of the traditional spices and sage, but with a “hint” of sweetness. This is going to be a favorite for making your wild hog sausage! Venison: Here is an ideal blend that compliments a lot more than just venison. It is tasty, without being over-powering and should work great on deer, elk, bear, moose, caribou, antelope or whatever you have tucked away in the freezer. Zesty Western: This blend has a “little extra kick” to it with the ground peppers in it. It starts with a mild flavor, and then the pepper-spice kicks in to a little extra added zest. Each Smokehouse Breakfast Sausage Mix comes pre-mixed and packaged with 4.5 ounces of spice blend. This is enough to make up to 12 pounds of sausage, but don’t be afraid to cut back on the meat to around 10 pounds of grind if you like an extra rich/hearty flavor! On the flip-
-side, if you’re not planning on making, cooking and using a large batch of sausage in a single setting, you can easily measure out approximately 2 teaspoons of spice for each pound of meat. Add an extra dash of spice for a fuller/bolder taste! To the meat and spice mix, all you have to do is add 1-cup of cold water if you are making the 10-12 pound recipe or about 1/8th cup water for each pound of meat. As a tasteful variation, you can replace the water with beer, wine, soda pop or even orange or mango juice for an exotic twist! Once your meat, spice and water are blended well, you’ll get the best flavor throughout the sausage by letting it rest in your refrigerator for 12-hours or more. This gives everything a chance to better intermingle and spread out to the mix. ! If you want to play around with additional flavors to the mix, consider adding chopped green or black sliced olives, finely-chopped onion, shredded cheese, pine nuts/sunflower seeds, diced mushrooms or even some capers. Don’t be afraid to experiment… it is difficult to mess up this easy recipe. Unlike making traditional “big and thick burgers,” keep your hands moist with water (eliminates stickiness) and make your patties to around ½-inch in thickness. This allows for a flat and even cooking.
Now you are ready to add the “secret flavor” for some of the best-tasting sausage you will likely ever have! If you have a Little Chief/Big Chief smoker you can add a real-smoky flavor level by placing the patties in the smoker, adding your favorite flavor of wood chips or pellets and let them absorb that rich hickory, cherry, or mesquite wood flavor. Remember, you are not trying to cook the sausage, just add a layer of smoke flavor. Keep the temperatures around 100-110 degrees for 30-45 minutes by simply propping the door open and cracked. If you are a cold-smoke aficionado, now is the time to dig out your Smokehouse Smoke Chief (www.smokehouseproducts.com) , load it up with your favorite wood-flavor pellets and let them absorb tons of cold smoke for 30-60 minutes. We did a few patties with hickory pellets for 2-hours, and they were everyone’s favorites! The patties are now ready for the frying pan, deep-fryer, griddle or grille Onto the grille or into the frying pan, you want an ideal “internal” meat temperature of 160 degrees F. When using pork or pork fat, just make sure that it is not cooked rare/medium rare! Cook your sausage on medium-heat until a nice crusty dark brown.
Once cooked, you can take all the leftover sausage patties and seal them in freezer/vacuum bags for later use. Take the frozen patties from your freezer and just “nuke� them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds for your future breakfast/brunch plans. As a flavorful side dish to your sausage patties, here is a quick, easy and delicious recipe for making sausage gravy that is great on everything from the patties to biscuits and hash browns.
Homemade sausage gravy: 1-2 cooked sausage patties, crumbled. 2 TBS Butter 2 TBS Flour 2 Cups Milk Seasoned salt and black pepper to taste Âź tsp powdered garlic Melt butter slowly in medium sauce pan. Add flour to make rue and stir constantly. Slowly add milk while whisking or you can use a fork to keep from forming lumps. Sprinkle in crumbled sausage bits, and add your Seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Mix in powdered garlic and you are ready to serve.
