  • Flymen Fishing Company’s new articulated fish spines are setting off a flurry of new fly tying innovation and patterns. See some of the first at Franken Fly.
  • Starting September 1, 2013, tarpon and bonefish will be protected by catch and release regulations extending into the federal waters off the Florida coast.
  • In an odd stroke of luck, a fly rod lost ten years ago on Scofield Reservoir has come back to its owner, Herb Patterson. “This is the catch of year for 2013 for me, that’s for sure,” he says. Read the entirety of this amazing story via Daily Herald.
  • Due to high water temperatures and low flows, Montana has put in places some closures on rivers in the state. Check the list of current restrictions before heading out on the water or planning your summer trip.
