Tippets: Reading Stream Forms, Salmon Run Returns, Conservation’s Lineage
- The pools behind river rocks are good holding places for trout. But don’t forget the calm water in front of the rock as well, advises Chad Shmukler in a recent article on Hatch Magazine. “These spaces are characterized by slow, soft water at the front of which is a conveyor belt of food. And these spaces are a favorite of trout. Once you look, these formerly counter-intuitive stream forms are painfully easy to see.”
- From Washington to California, the salmon season is officially open and the returns forecast for 2014 are encouraging. Read the predictions for different watersheds via The Fishing Wire.
