  • Stephen Brutger writes about a different kind of “trophy” shot, and one of the most important decisions you make when heading out on the water: who you take with.  Via Stalking the Seam.
  • Dutch and American scientists have developed waders equipped with temperature sensors that enable fly-fishers to find the best fishing locations while collecting data to help scientists study streams. The research was published in Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI), an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union.
  • Changing weather conditions and water flows all lead to the need for changing flies in your box. Tom Rosenbauer writes about his top ten flies for autumn, and techniques for fishing them when out on the water. Via Orvis.
