| Mercury Levels Rise in 6 Nevada Waters |
|
Be Aware Fish species from Six Northern Nevada waters have been identified to have potential higher levels of mercury and should be consumed on a limited basis.

| B-Run Steelhead on the South Fork Clearwater |
|
A good amount of my time each summer as a Boy Scout was spent at a certain alpine lake in Northern Utah.

Funny as it was back then, calling a fish Shamu never seemed more appropriate than it did on steelhead caught this past weekend on the South Fork of the Clearwater near Grangeville, Idaho.

| Photo Contest Winners Announced |

Modern science needs to do a study on the genetic linkage between the fly fishing gene and the artistic gene. I’m sure that it would be ground breaking stuff. But I digress… The winning ima...
