Tippets: OR Best in Show, White River Minimum Flow, Top-to-Bottom Hatch Matching, Marble Trout in Slovenia
- Among Gear Junkie’s first installment of best of the Outdoor Retailer trade show are a few products filled with the new water-resistant down—worth a look for wintertime fly fishers.
- After a quarter century of kicking and screaming to anyone who would listen, various Arkansas government officials and fishermen have secured an agreement that requires a minimum flow from the Bull Shoals and Norfolk dams to protect the trout habitat in the White River.
- Matching the hatch takes more than one dry fly, writes Kent Klewein. Not only are a variety of dries recommended, but imitations of all phases of hatch targeted.
- A relative of the brown trout, the largest species of marble trout caught weighed in at around 55lbs. If you ever find yourself in Italy or Austria, hop over to Slovenia and give it a shot. But be sure to tie some over-sized nymphs; Fish & Fly recommends size 2 – 4 stonefly imitations.
