  • While it’s often viewed as a tool for small streams and small fish, tenkara can be effective for larger fish, too. Louis Cahill has some good advice for fighting big fish on a tenkara rod in a recent piece on Gink and Gasoline.
  • A recent report released by the Environmental Protection Agency highlights the importance of healthy small streams and wetlands. The paper, Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence, can be read in full online. “There is a lot of research to back up the concept that protecting smaller streams and wetlands will protect water quality in our nation’s rivers, lakes and bays,” says Jan Goldman-Carter of the National Wildlife Federation.
