Featured Fly Tyer - Howard Fischer

"When I look at the fly that I created I see a piece of art first rather than a fly. I love to tie challenging flies like this one because it takes me out of the chaos of the world around me for 20 or 30 minutes and helps me to focus on a single thing for that time."

Seed to Cup - Brew Methods

We are of the general opinion that you should do you when it comes to coffee, and brewing is a perfect place to display your preference. Drip, pour-over, French press, espresso, Aeropress, and steeped (yes, steeped coffee)—you should use whatever works for you and leads to the best-tasting cup for you.

Seed to Cup - Grinding

In our last installment of Seed to Cup, we discussed coffee freshness and how to store beans to slow the staling process. That’s the perfect lead-in to discussing grinding coffee beans, because grinding is one of the biggest accelerants of staling. Remember that light and oxygen negatively affect roasted beans, and grinding exposes more surface area to those elements.

Featured Fly Tyer - Matt Germino

"The fly that means the most to me is the Royal Coachman. This fly holds a special place for me because it's the first fly I ever caught a fish on. For this Coachman, I substituted calf tail for the wings simply out of personal preference."

Seed to Cup - Keep it Fresh

No matter how a coffee is processed or roasted and regardless of whether it is single origin or a blend, once it is roasted, all coffee is extremely perishable. Beans reach their peak flavor only about two to three days after roasting. That peak is steep; beans start to degrade in quality almost immediately after.

Redband Rally

For the year’s final-quarter CAP, Angler’s looks closer to our home in Western Washington—across the lands, depending on how one travels, of the Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot, Colville to the Spokane Tribe of Eastern Washington. There we find the Redband Rally Campaign, which was created by the Spokane Indians Baseball Team, with the Spokane Tribe of Indians and the City of Spokane, to honor Spokane’s signature fish, the native Redband trout.
