2010 Rusty Gates Memorial Honorable Mention Story from the Robert Traver Fly-Fishing Writing Award presented by Fly Rod & Reel and the John D. Voelker Foundation
"We’ve used that partridge for so many years it solidifies the usefulness of that material in imitating Callibaetis spinners," says Rene' Harrop of the pattern on our Autumn 2010 cover.

From our "Traveling Angler" report in the Autumn 2010 issue. "We were poling down the edge of a mangrove-lined shoreline that fell off onto a sandy shelf on the flats of Turneffe Flats."

"Picture this…Dense fog off the tip of Monomoy Island, on outer Cape Cod, visibility about 200 feet, and we are fly-fishing for striped bass."
Fishing with a Hexagraph fly rod..."Lately and with the help of a Hexagraph fly rod...I have begun to understand how a high-performance rod can improve an angler’s orientation to the sport."
The 2010 Robert Traver Fly-Fishing Writing Award Winners will be announced in our Autumn 2010 issue. But for now, a look back at 2009....
The Special Rusty Gates Honorable Mention Recognition for a 2009 Robert Traver Fly-Fishing Writing Award Finalist of particular merit.... "I am standing in the dark doorway at two in the morning looking down the silvered, rain-washed lawn, hearing from across the river the haunting whoop of a whippoorwill and on this side listening to the rollicking fly-fishing trinity sitting around the picnic table—a rendezvous with John Voelker, Mary Orvis Marbury and Dame Juliana Berners."
