  • Chris Santella writes about Russia’s Ponoi River, one of the last strongholds of Atlantic salmon on earth. “Here, at peak times of the run, anglers could anticipate eight or 10 fish in a day—and sometimes more. Numbers like these continue to draw anglers to the Ryabaga Camp on the Ponoi, though the spirit of the camp seems to keep people coming back.” Via The Washington Post.
  • From adjusting expectations to packing food and having a backup plan, Justin Pickett writes about things to consider before heading out on the water with your kids. “As a parent, I believe there aren’t too many other things more fun than taking your kid fishing. Yes, it can be challenging, but the rewards far outweigh all of the backpacks filled with gear, goldfish, sippy cups, and sunscreen.” Via Gink & Gasoline.
