Such good news - for those looking for a relaxing hobby fly fishing is an excellent sport to get into. You spend all day standing in a river trying to out smart some fish and trout are exceptionally beautiful creatures up close.
- RajT88 4mo agoAgree. I think most fish are beautiful in a way, even the "ugly ones". What I really love about the fish under discussion here is, for a long time they had no clue why some rainbow trout became steelhead, and some didn't. (They still don't know 100%) Such an interesting story, and a regular rainbow and a steelhead just seem almost like another species - different size, behavior and even taste when you eat them.
- a2tech 4mo agoYou want to have fun, get two fresh water fish biologists in a room and ask them if steelhead and rainbow trout are different species. Everyone has a different opinion they believe in passionately.
- bonzini 4mo agoPeople for a long time didn't know what the reproductive cycle of eels is like, because they travel all the way from the Atlantic ocean and back while maturing, so nobody had ever seen a juvenile. Too bad they're critically endangered.
- nosrepa 4mo agoThank goodness Freud searched for those eel dicks.

- constantius 4mo agoIn a discussion about increasing fish population "after decades of effort", it's surreal to see a suggestion to kill them, or at the very least rip a hole in their mouths. I'm always surprised at how people can be so unaware, suggesting killing as a meditative and beautiful activity...
- bluGill 4mo agoThere are a lot of different fish, and most are not threatened in anyway. Often the larger threat is over population and they need predators - like humans - to prevent that.
- kristjansson 4mo agoI mean catch and release is better than being dinner, and the prevalence of fly fishing as a hobby goes a long way toward garnering public and financial support for restoration activities.

- groundzeros2015 4mo agoYou just aren’t educated about angling or fish. Also are you aware of the California native tribes who exempt themselves from fishing regulations?
- boston_clone 4mo agoCould you educate us as to where the barbed hook goes?
- r053bud 4mo agoBarbed hooks are not allowed most of the time anymore.
