Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics The South Fork of the Snake River in Idaho holds some truly giant fish. Most of these trout, what veteran guide Ed Emory calls the “megalodons,” are rarely hooked. When they are, the odds are usually stacked in their favor. But occasionally everything aligns and a fish that rewrites the record books is lifted out of the water. “A blessing from God is honestly what I amount it to,” says Caroline Langdale, the Georgia angler who caught and released a pending Idaho record brown trout while…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. After having heard the same line many, many times before – and yet with no result (instead, more often the opposite of sliding into further conflict and escalation) – Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday welcomed the “progress” made between the United States and Iran in indirect negotiations. CNN and other mainstream outlets are reporting on this “hint” that an interim deal is taking shape (again).

The polymer-based material, described by researchers as having a “gummy bear” consistency, offers a way to weave the widely used and effective DEET insect repellent into fabric or onto patches or strips to provide long-term repellency for a minimum of six months without regular maintenance or reapplication.

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics What makes some fish wildly popular, while others fall completely off the radar? Tackle sales are part of it. Bass are in the forefront of angling because we buy lots of bass tackle, thus providing motivation for the fishing industry to push bass, bass, and more bass. The same goes for walleyes and trout.
