Striped bass are under recreational and commercial pressure and subject to changing regulations. We here at Fish Wrap are saying no to transferring striper quotas as a way to circumvent conservation efforts. If one area did not catch their quota, that’s great for the stripers. See you next year. Let ’em swim.
Patagonia, Daiwa and St. Croix have new gear for a newseason but it’s Yvon Chouimnard’s announcement that make the biggest news.

Read more about his decision this week along with a release of new Daiwa largemouth bass jigs and new beautiful St. Croix rods. Thank you Yvon Chouinard.
Yes indeed, we are declaring Friday, October 14, 2022 as Fish Wrap Fishing Friday. It’s time to lace up, wader up, get up and get outside before the winds of change have us shoveling and hiding. Let’s fish, shoot and watch a film on a fine Fall Friday. It’s all here, in Fish Wrap this week.

Deep in the brush, enveloped in protective poison ivy, slowing water, amassing mud, encouraging alders to set roots in a stream, a tired wall has prohibited trout passage for nearly one hundred years.
