Here’s a white, wriggly kind of news item that might make you think twice about ordering Idaho trout at a restaurant: 
University of Idaho and Idaho State University scientists are working on a new maggot-based feed capable of fattening rainbows for the dinner table, while simultaneously helping slash growing mounds of manure and fish entrails.

I’m back from the FFR show toting a notebook jammed with largely unreadable notes, a laptop filled with half-written posts, and great big backlog of actual paying work.

Here is the hook keeper. It is from my first fly rod, a cheap Daiwa fiberglass rod from the 80s. The Daiwa rod is my […]

http://roticos-bass-fishing-secrets.com/blog/hypothermia-can-end-your-fishing-trip-and-your-life/

Some of the best bass fishing that I’ve ever seen on Bull Shoals Lake occurred on Sunday night, April 1, under a nearly full moon. I was fishing with a friend who lives near the lake and spends about 300 days a year on the water.
We had experienced two weeks of abnormally warm weather, […]
