  • A study published in the journal Animal Cognition points to evidence of episodic memory in fish, “the ability to recall the what, where and when of events, categorizing the raw material of experience into some sort of coherency.” Via Conservation Magazine.
  • Deadfall provides good habitat for trout, and while it provides great fishing opportunity it also presents difficult technical situations. Phil Monahan writes about strategies for success when fishing around large woody debris in this recent article via Orvis.
  • This video from Loon Outdoors highlights the features of their new Rogue Quickdraw Forceps. The hemostat features carabiner handles, tight angles, and compact cutting surface.
