Tippets: Anchored Podcast, Washington Mining Legislation, Winter Streamer Fishing

February 28, 2015 By: Erin Block

  • The most recent episode of the “Anchored with April Vokey” podcast features retailer, photographer, guide and Patagonia ambassador Dave McCoy. Vokey and McCoy present a great discussion on the fly fishing industry, bridging the gap between fly and gear anglers in conservation, and the importance of wild steelhead.
  • Currently, there is little regulation on suction dredge mining in Washington state, even in waters closed to angling to protect ESA listed salmon runs. Newly proposed legislation, House Bill 1162, would require complete scientific study to evaluate effects of motorized mining on native fish species and related habitat. You can help support this effort, by submitting your comments online.
  • “Winter is different. Not all of the same rules apply,” writes expert guide and outfitter, Tim Linehan. And on that note, presents concise and effective tactics for winter streamer fishing.
