Don’t Guess. Know Your Water Temperature. Water temperature is one of the most important pieces of information an angler can have, yet it’s often overlooked. It affects fish behavior, insect activity, and most importantly, fish health. If you’re spending time on the water this summer, carrying a thermometer should be as automatic as bringing… Continue reading River Must Have: Thermometer

That said… Continue reading FLUSH UPDATE 2026
