  • The physics behind a good cast is much more than just “throwing a line.” Louis Cahill dissects the energy of a fly line and how to get it to work to your advantage in a recent piece on Gink & Gasoline.
  • The legendary Loch Ness Monster might not be so mysterious anymore. Using sonar technology, new research has detected “extremely large” fish deep in the lake, which researcher Steve Feltham suspects to be giant Wels catfish. Via Field & Stream.
  • Wild steelhead of Puget Sound rivers are in need of help recovering health and populations numbers. Raise your voice in support, and tell the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife of the need to establish strong, effective wild steelhead gene banks. Via the Wild Steelhead Coalition.
