Fishing Stories, Expert Advice & How-To Guides

Field & Stream’s fishing coverage brings together generations of knowledge, experience, and storytelling from some of the best anglers and outdoor writers in America. From unforgettable days on remote rivers and wild coastal waters to practical, expert how-to articles and the latest fishing news, our stories explore the places, people, fish, traditions, and techniques that make angling such a rewarding pursuit.

Our freshwater fishing coverage spans everything from local ponds and small streams to sprawling lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Discover expert fishing advice for bass, trout, crappie, bluegill, catfish, walleye, pike, muskies, and more with stories and how-to guides covering seasonal patterns, fish behavior, tactics, and the fundamentals of finding and catching fish in different waters. Whether you’re pursuing largemouth or smallmouth bass, stalking wild trout in a mountain stream, jigging for crappie, or chasing a giant muskie, Field & Stream offers authoritative fishing stories and practical advice for anglers of every experience level.

Our saltwater fishing coverage takes readers from inshore flats and beaches to offshore waters in pursuit of species including striped bass, tarpon, sharks, tuna, marlin, redfish, snook, and other saltwater gamefish. Read compelling stories from some of the world’s great fisheries while learning how tides, weather, water temperature, and fish behavior shape the saltwater angler’s approach.

Our fishing stories cover fly fishing, spin fishing, conventional fishing, and ice fishing, with expert advice for anglers in every season and environment. Field & Stream’s fishing news coverage highlights the biggest catches and most important stories in the angling world, including state-record fish, all-tackle records, trophy catches, and remarkable big fish from freshwater and saltwater. From a giant bass or record trout to a massive tarpon or shark, Field & Stream delivers compelling fishing stories, authoritative news, expert techniques, and how-to guidance for anglers wherever and however they fish.
