Deploying military forces is the strongest of political signals, and the most potent of these deployments is to move nuclear weapons or launch platforms near a potential adversary.So when nuclear-capable Chinese bombers joined their Russian counterparts in joint patrols near Alaska in 2024, as well as similar flights deep into the Pacific, Western observers assumed there was a political message. Russia had been conducting such provocative flights dating back to the Cold War, but this is something new for China. Was Beijing signaling its displeasure with America over Taiwan, or warning NATO not to get involved in Asia? Was invoking…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics I’ll fess up. Nothing is more blood-pressure raising to me than pinning a big trout on an itty-bitty dry fly. Scoring the take is the fun part, no doubt, but whenever I’m trying to feed a hefty brown or rainbow a size 20 or 22 fly with a minuscule hook, I just assume the fish won’t make it to the net after the slurp. That’s a bad attitude, I know, but fishing micro dry flies also means fishing hair-thin tippet. Quite often, however, this is the…
