Unreliable weather and the onset of many seasonal diversions have drastically reduced the sports fishing effort. The relative recent dearth of fish also did little to encourage anything in the way of a fishing expedition, even though this situation h...

Well, the weather certainly isn't helping the weekender and the year's sport fishing is rapidly drawing to a close. Part of the problem is that the sportsman is limited to which days he or she is free to fish. Add in the increasing pressures arising ...
