    Bob Marshall: What Coastal Drilling Means For Sportsmen

    By Bob Marshall

    Editor's Note: Welcome to The Conservationist, a new blog on FieldandStream.com, where at least three times per week we'll be posting conservation news, analysis, and commentary from Conservation Columnist Bob Marshall, Contributing Editor Hal Herring, and Deputy Editor Jay Cassell.

    So what does President Obama's decision to open once-protected areas of our coasts to energy drilling mean for fish, wildlife and sportsmen?

    It could be terrible. It could be bad. Or it might not matter much at all.

    The Terrible: If this derails the push for meaningful carbon reduction legislation, it will be a black mark on his presidency, and a disaster for fish and wildlife and sportsmen.

    There is no greater threat to our outdoor pursuits than global warming, and the major cause of that problem is the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere, primarily from fossil fuels. There are alternative fuels, but the only way to encourage development and use of those fuels is to place a penalty on the production of carbon. That's what cap and trade is all about.

    Welcome to The Wild Chef, a New Blog on Field & Stream!

    By Colin Kearns

    If you’re like us (and we’re pretty certain you are), then you enjoy cooking and eating wild game and fish almost as much as you enjoy hunting and fishing. Almost. And it’s because of our love for all things rare, grilled, poached, fried, you name it, that we decided to serve a second helping of the magazine’s popular food column, The Wild Chef, in blog form on fieldandstream.com. You can check back each week for cooking tips, food news, stories, and, of course, some killer recipes.

    But we want to include you as much as possible. We're looking for recipes from our readers, photo galleries of your camp cuisine, and will be running monthly contests in which you can win great prizes. After all, a good meal is always best when shared with friends, and we think this blog should be the same way.

    On that note, we’d like to start this blog off right: with a recipe. This one comes from Robert Gelman, executive chef of NYY Steak in New York City (in Yankee Stadium, to be exact). Hopefully you’ll find the time to cook the dish this weekend. If you do, let us know how it turns out.

    Rainbow Trout Stuffed with Lemon & Dill
    A simple, rustic dish that any weekend recreational fisherman can execute, yet one which I feature on my menu at NYY Steak because of its clean flavors, which gives the dish a certain simple refinement that chefs everywhere yearn to capture. —Chef Robert Gelman

    Alaska Combat Anglers Get Hooked

    From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner:

    Salmon aren't alone in being snagged during this busy summer fishing season in Alaska. Anglers get the hook, too.

    Monica Musgrove, a nurse at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna, said emergency room staff have removed 62 hooks from patients since May - including a few through the eyelids and one from the tip of the nose.

    A Book Worth Reading: The Alaska Chronicles

    By Kirk Deeter

    A fly fishing memoir is a tough thing to pull off.  In my mind, "been there, done that," isn't good enough.  "Me and Bob went fishing"... yawn.  "How I learned to solve the mysteries of the universe while I caught trout"... give me a break.

    In other words, I often pick up these books, and within 10 pages, I'm usually thinking to myself, "Get real!"

    Whoa, wait a minute... there's a thought.  Get real...
