Aptly named the “Magic City,” Miami is not only a popular destination unto itself but also a busy jumping-off point for cruises and air travel around Central and South America. Travelers on either end of their cruise trips, or those looking to rest up during a long layover, now have better options than languishing in the airport endlessly.

Anthony Bourdain once said of Medellín, Colombia, “It’s ludicrous this place exists and everybody doesn’t want to live here.” It took less than a day in the city for me to feel the same, and less than a week in Colombia to realize the sentiment applied to the country itself. Everything is more alive here. Heavy with humidity, the air is cool and smells like the green hills rising up from the Aburrá Valley which houses Medellín. The colors are brighter, more saturated.

In This ArticleFunction and Then FormI spend many months each year out in the sun, often in random hot equatorial climates. This year alone, fly fishing and work have brought me to Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil—all wonderful places with sunshine strong enough to give one’s skin a crispy burn if not careful. Sunscreen is a great tool, sure, but I’m more and more a believer in mechanical sun coverage: a physical barrier that helps keep the sun off my skin.

Grab Your Fly Rod & Adventure To The Land Of Fire & IceFor me, Iceland poses a question. A challenge. How do you fit in here, and why are you on my shores? I've never yet set foot on the Land of Fire and Ice, as the island country is so aptly nicknamed, so I have no idea yet how I fit into the rugged landscape. As to why I'm stepping off a plane, Pelican case and rods in tow, well, that I do have an answer to. I'm here to chase sea-run brown trout.

Core fly-fishing brand Scientific Anglers just released their newest innovation, and it has (ahem) clear applications for saltwater fly anglers. For decades we've fished floating fly lines that are often colored blue, tan, beige, and even turquoise, under the guise that the colors are neutral in most saltwater environments and shouldn't cause an issue.
