  • In the most recent episode of RIO’s “How-To” series, brand manager Simon Gawesworth shows how to fish a streamer from a drift boat. The presented tips and information “take the mystery and randomness of streamer fishing away, giving anglers a clear game plan of how best to master streamer fishing from a drift boat.”
  • Situations sometimes call for hanging a nymph below a suspender such as a dry fly or indicator. In this recent article, Domenick Swentosky offers a detailed outline of choosing and using Pat Dorsey’s yarn indicator, a.k.a.“The Dorsey.” “The crinkled, polypropylene macrame yarn traps more air than cork or styrofoam, so it floats better. The Dorsey also costs next to nothing, and you can fish it in any color you like.” Via Troutbitten.
