Stomias
History of the greenback cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki stomias) Approximately 2 million years ago, towards the beginning of the Pleistocene epoch, a group of coastal salmonids found their way inland by way of the Columbia River basin. These salmonids remained inland untouched and left to evolve into coastal, westslope, Lahontan, and Yellowstone cutthroat trout. The Yellowstone cutthroatsâŠ

The Clear Lake Bet
This was a bet to remember... #TheOtolith #IceIsCold #IceFishing
It seems fishing with my friends always ends up as a series of bets. Typically, the first bets are made before we ever reach the water â a dollar on the first fish, a dollar on the most and a dollar on the biggest. Whoever wins the most bets during the day always had undeniable bragging rights for the trip home (although bragging usually lasted for weeks). This trip was no different. Ice fishingâŠ

The best friend I've ever had. #TheOtolith #MansBestFriend #Moose
  Iâve always enjoyed fishing by myself because sometimes itâs just more enjoyable to fish in silence with nothing but the creek talking in the background. You have first choice on pools and river stretches, and every fish in the creek is yours for the taking. There are times, however, when the experience is enhanced by a buddy.âŠ

Piscatorial Rumination - Carbon Dioxide
Piscatorial Rumination â Carbon Dioxide
The probability of survival for an organism is positively correlated with its ability to gather accurate information concerning its surroundings. Gathering inaccurate information will lead to improper or high risk behavior that could lead to the death of the organism. Within the aquatic environment, fish rely heavily on auditory, olfactory and visional cues. It is indubitably apparent thatâŠ

Crappie http://wp.me/s5Rfoj-crappie This was an Iowa fishing trip back in early 2014. Oh how I love early spring crappie (Pomoxis spp.)! Enjoy! - Chris
Piscatorial Rumination - Salinity
How do changing salinity regimes interact with fish? #TheOtolith #Ichthyology
Oceanic warming has forced changes in the hydrological cycle, which are to some extent manifested within the salinity regimes of the planetâs oceans. These changes have altered the stratification of isopycnals, and as a result, oceanic circulation patterns are changing. In the subtropical latitudes, accelerated evaporation due to warmer temperatures is causing an increase of salinity; in theâŠ

Piscatorial Rumination - Part 1
How will climate change affect fisheries? By interacting with their physiology. #TheOtolith #Ichthyology #ClimateChange #FishPhysiology
Over the past 250 years, atmospheric carbon levels have increased at an unprecedented rate never before seen in the geological record. Unfortunately, the actions of humans are to blame. Anthropogenic sources of CO2, mainly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have accelerated climate change and are inducing changes in oceans around the world. This addition of CO2 has been shown to alterâŠ

Acceleration due to...fish?
Acceleration due to fish? Just one example why fish are so cool! #TheOtolith #FishAreCool #Physics #Ichthyology
Fish swim. Everyone knows this. Whatâs interesting is looking closer at how they swim and the mechanics of the forces they generate while swimming. Most people might take this for granted, but being a highly curious ichthyologist, I decided to look at the science. Instead of looking at mounds and mounds of data trying to compare apples to oranges, so to speak, I ran some calculations in order toâŠ

jaws untold
Jaws wasn't just a blockbuster movie. Here's what really happened in 1916 on the Jersey shore. #Jaws #We'reGonnaNeedABiggerBoat #TheOtolith
Although Jaws is one of my favorite movies, it has put sharks in a negative spotlight since it debuted in 1975. Aside from the poorly depicted biology (Hollywood seems to be against accurate biology these days), it is a great, entertaining story. Perhaps itâs one of Steven Spielbergâs better movies. The film was based off the novel Jawsby Peter Benchley, but where did the inspiration come from toâŠ

Ever wonder what happens to a fish when it is being caught? Click to find out! #FishPhysiology #FlyFishing #TheOtolith
I remember watching fishing icons like Bill Dance on Saturday mornings on TNN as a kid. Not much has changed. I still watch Saturday morning fishing shows with my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and chocolate milk, but these days I have a better understanding of what the fisherman is putting a fish through. It is quite interesting how a typical teleost (teleost is the group of fishes that have aâŠ

redfish spoon fly
Tie up several of these before your next trip. These will catch everything from redfish to crappie to trout!
First thing is first. I did not develop this fly or the technique to tie this pattern, but I think it is a brilliant way to tie a spoon fly. The original pattern can be found by clicking here. The spoon fly should be in every redfish (Sciaenops ocellatus) fly fishermanâs box. I would even tie this fly in smaller sizes and throw it to monster rainbows (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in lakes. The action ofâŠ

the essence of fly fishing
I have been asked what fly fishing means to me and why do I take it so seriously. This is my response.
Years ago I was asked why I fly fish. They asked, âwhat is it about fly fishing that is so appealing? Why not just use conventional tackle?â I remember giving a long drawn out explanation that basically arrived at the conclusion that fly fishing just looked cooler and was much more fun to cast. I had the attitude that if I had to explain it to you then you probably wouldnât understand anyway,âŠ
