  • Anglers have strong opinions on the correct way to fish for steelhead. In a recent article Dave Stewart of Wet Fly Swing writes about the differences (benefits and drawbacks) of nymphing vs. swinging for steelhead.
  • Kandis Elliot, emerita senior artist in the Department of Botany at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is creating posters featuring life-size illustrations of every fish species in the state. “The idea behind the posters is to create a splash,” Elliot says. “There is a wow factor. We want people, especially kids, to have an awareness of all our fishes, not just hook-and-line species.”
