Conservation: "Beyond Data"


MIDCURRENT introduces a new series on fly fishing conservation this week. Written by author, guide and conservationist Bob Mallard, it will highlight issues and answers from the advantage of the most current knowledge--and with an eye toward how we can improve our conservation practices.  To start, Bob asks the question "How much data is enough data?"

Robert Morselli field-tested the Sage "Trout" fly reel in recent months and this week offers his thoughts on the reel and its standout features.

INSIDE THE BOX:  Rick Wittenbraker of Howler Bros. reveals some of the creative and stylish apparel the brand has lined up for 2020.

Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie John Atherton’s Atherton #2, or Medium Color Nymph, in this week's featured tying video. "There’s a whole lot of goodness wrapped up in this one little pattern," says Flagler, "including what we’d call today a bright blue hot spot." A noted artist, Atherton wrote and illustrated the fishing classic The Fly and The Fish. He drowned at the age of 52 while fly fishing in New Brunswick, Canada.

"OLDER FISHING"

Jim Harrison: "Ultimately, I don't know exactly what happened in my angling life. I had gone fly fishing for thirty-three years in Montana and then we moved there, so now I’m up to forty-two. Mind you, this doesn’t mean I’m good at it. Good and bad aren’t part of my fishing lexicon. The good can be part of the quality of light that day, or the quality of bread, salami, or hot peppers at lunch. The bad can be weather under forty degrees, which I no longer care for."  Read on...
