Tippets: Henry Winkler Interview, Skagit Steelhead Closures Likely, South Platte Enhancement, Winter Tips

December 28, 2011 By: Marshall Cutchin


  • The Chicago Tribune‘s Jae-Ha Kim interviews Henry Winkler, who always manages to weave fly fishing into the conversation.
  • Skagit wild steelhead numbers are “falling off the table again,” meaning Upper Skagit, Sauk and other popular catch-and-release fisheries will soon shut down.
  • Metro Denver’s South Platte corridor gets more and more attention from far-sighted city councils and those who envision a restored coldwater (or at least warmwater) fishery.
  • Kirk Web suggests carrying handwarmers, taking your gloves off before handling fish, and picking up some ice-off paste for smarter winter fishing.
