The Weekly Five - 7

Now it's the Scottish Salmon

1. After recent fishery closures in Alaska and Norway, the Scottish Gamekeeper reports of severely declining salmon stocks. According to the Scottish Government, total rod catch of wild salmon for 2023 is the lowest since records began in 1952.

2. Not seeing enough tarpon when in Belize? Ferry over to Caye Caulker and hand feed them at the newly renovated Tarpon Cove.

3. CXI season is in full flight for winter-weary southern hemisphere ‘bonefishionados’. Thinking of a trip to Kiribati? Ask me in the comments to PM you the best price and lodge recommendations on Kiritimati Atoll.

4. Those joining the Montana angler horde: the weekly fishing report from Blue Ribbon Flies provides a solid steer on the Gallatin & Madison rivers.

5. And for all you fly tyers, here’s a clever way to photograph floating flies by Martin Joergensen.
