02. Article pick: The seven deadly sins of fly fishing

For many, part of the allure of fishing is slowing down and steeping in nature. This article, from Hatch Magazine, aims to help fishers avoid common pitfalls when fishing, and ultimately to bring more awareness to the activity. These seemingly small actions could enable anglers to not only catch more fish, but also be more immersed in the experience.
