The trout brigade at Walker
Rural tourism encompasses many venues in the Sierra Nevada, but none so popular as fishing during its season. Tallying in at number one for tourism is angling and all of its associated angles, fishing holes and lodging opportunities. And while the Mammoth Lakes region tends to get most of the press locally, the northern reaches of Mono County have their fair share of angling hot spots. Recently, the DFG trout stocking truck was in the town of Walker and a crowd gathered to help with the delivery. Sam Foster manned the trout brigade at the Walker River-a makeshift line of all ages, each delighted to see trout leave the metal confines of the truck's tanks and land in the water.Walker's trout stocking is repeated in many of the towns and it's not just the local fishing guides who get into the action for the planting locations or the actual trout drops.
Eating fish wherever you go
North Atlantic salmon served with parsley potatoes at a small inn on the West Coast of Scotland. Rainbow trout cooked over a campfire by a mountain stream. Grilled whitefish on a deck overlooking Lake Michigan. Your memory is no doubt filled with pleasurable fish moments. And eating fish is a healthy pleasure.Citing a solid body of research showing people who eat fish regularly have a reduced incidence of death from heart attack and stroke, American Heart Association recommends Americans eat fish at least twice every week.Dietitians always have cited fish as a good source of low-fat protein, and recent research indicates fatty fish such salmon, tuna and halibut may offer even more important health benefits. These fish contain significant quantities of omega-3 fatty acids. Two specific types of omega-3s-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-are particularly beneficial to the cardiovascular system, lowering triglycerides and reducing the inflammation that is frequently involved in heart disease.
New Insect Website Has Fly Fishermen Abuzz
Fly fishers and science buffs get a detailed peek into the world of aquatic insects on the website www.troutnut.com, which was re-launched in late August. Its close-up photographs have sparked a new way of looking at rivers and the sport of fly fishing. Ithaca, NY (PRWEB) August 30, 2006 -- Internet blogs and message boards are abuzz this week with talk of flies -- fishing flies, and the insects they imitate. A new illustrated encyclopedia of mayflies and their aquatic kin is drawing crowds to www.troutnut.com, which site developer Jason Neuswanger re-launched in late August. Thousands of colorful close-up photographs of trout stream insects are stirring excitement both within and outside the fly fishing community.
Books have covered the site's subject before, but Neuswanger says Troutnut.com is different.
