A look at the top stories making headlines around the fishing world this week:
- While it wasn't caught on a fly, this possible world record catfish weighed in at 130 pounds and took a pair of anglers 30 minutes to lift the whiskerfish into the boat. But will it qualify for a world record? Only time will tell.
- Also a non-fly fishing story, but one that boat-bound anglers should be aware of: a 40-ton whale collided with a sailboat off the coast of South Africa. You've got to see the photos to believe it.
- More stories about fly fishing for carp. Here's some insight on the Carp Slam on the bank of the South Platte. And another about carp being a "freshwater bonefish."
- Finally a promising story about fish surviving a man-made event. In Bloomington, Maryland, the trout on the lower Savage River appear to have survived this pas winter's draining of an upstream reservoir.
- On the other side of the country, the eradication of northern pike is helping "return Lake Davis to its historic status as the best mountain trout impoundment in California."
- And last, but not least, UpStream Magazine announced the digital publication of their first issue on Tuesday.
