Tippets: Casting Elbow, Tying a Warrior, Marijuana Farms and Salmon

April 6, 2015 By: Erin Block

  • Many athletes are prone to it, and anglers are no exception. Tendonitis can put a serious (and painful) halt to time on the water. Steven Brutger writes about his experience with “casting elbow” in a recent article on Stalking the Seam.
  • The Rainbow Warrior is a classic attractor pattern and is a great nymph for fishing spring runoff. Gilbert Rowley ties a variant, the Warrior Extreme, in a tying video via Franken Fly.
  • A recent study published in the journal PLOS One cites illegal marijuana farms in northern California as the cause of water loss that normally would support populations of endangered salmon and steelhead. Josh Harkinson reports the story via Mother Jones.
