Financed initially by capital from sponsorships for the Flylords Instagram account, Flylords Mag is a news site with original videos, photos, and articles. That first year, 2012 to 2013, was largely dedicated to posting content curated from other creators in the fishing space, but soon, Zissu doubled-down and posted more original content to the account. Flylords slowly began to take off with the fly-fishing community and now has more than 293,000 Instagram followers. For more than a decade, the Southeast Texas High School Fishing Association has provided a competitive league for local anglers looking to represent their school. The association’s 11th season will begin on Feb. 4 with an opening tournament on Sam Rayburn. As the fish pulls against the rod, hold firm, and as the line relaxes, begin to reel in by holding left-click.
This is an animal as old as time, an agreement as old as humanity. But the last century—a microscopic sliver of time—could mark the end of lamprey. The Fishing Pole is quite difficult to use and it may take some practice to get used to.
“I’m here to provide shelter, provide food, provide heat. Anything people need to survive.” The city is threatening to remove orange tents donated to homeless residents throughout Chicago by a local businessman.

Restricted to fly angling with barbless hooks, the Fall River flows east for 8 miles from its headwaters before emptying into the Deschutes River near La Pine State Park.
These notices are posted at least 7 days in advance, and DFSS engages with residents at encampments in the days leading up to cleanings to connect individuals with shelter, housing, and other services. The organizers behind the tents said they’re hoping to work with the city in the coming days to try to convince them to leave these tents right where they are. But Robledo said people remain on the city streets without homes, and as long as they’re there he will continue to provide these quality tents. The city told the I-Team the notices were placed on the tents so they could conduct a cleaning, and that no resident is being relocated as part of this project.
When a dipnet is full, the crew transfer the catch eel by eel into burlap bags, then carry the pulsing, writhing sacks over the boulders to the boat. Using data collected onboard fishing boats by scientific observers, the study found that the world’s largest no-fishing zone, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, has increased the catch rate of yellowfin tuna by 54% in nearby waters. Catch rates for bigeye tuna (also known as ʻahi) increased by 12%; catch rates for all fish species combined increased by 8%. This recovery is good news for the environment and the global tuna fishing industry, which generates $40 billion in revenues each year and supports millions of jobs across the world. “Fly fishing became a tool to disconnect from the stresses of schoolwork and the stresses of everyday life,” said Zissu, who would go fly fishing several days a week during college.
Most of the elders who fished at Celilo Falls are gone now, too. He showed me a picture of his mom’s first cousin—a pretty close relative, in the Native world. Uncle Jerry was a councilman, Lewis said, and influential in the tribe. “I know I’m creeping up in age cause I’m running out of uncles. No more grandmas, grandpas anymore.” Maybe he’s becoming the kind of uncle he once needed, I said. He just took a drag on his cigarette and returned to the topic of work, and fish.
They set up shade structures on the grass and towed in a trailer-mounted barbecue for the fresh catch. Lewis was there, grilling segments of lamprey, and Daeja Rosander and Clint Blodgett sparred to pass the time. To them, dinosaurs were a passing fad, and the North American continent is a fairly recent development. Lamprey swim out to sea as juveniles, looking for hosts like salmon to parasitize until they are mature enough to swim up some other river to spawn. Adult lamprey are calorie-dense and slow, protecting their hosts and cousins, the salmon, by acting as a predation buffer in another gesture of reciprocal care. It was the mid-1950s, and Celilo Falls, on the border between Washington and Oregon—the oldest continuously inhabited spot in North America—had yet to be destroyed.
However, the preference for pre-used and rental fishing equipment is challenging the market’s growth. Of a flatbed truck on a frisbee golf course at the edge of the upper Yakima River. It carried two massive blue coolers that held 120 mature lamprey, captured below the lower Columbia’s Bonneville Dam and transported upstream for release. It was World Fish Migration Day, and Yakama Nation Fisheries was hosting an event to educate the public.
Fishing these falls was a rite of passage, like getting a driver’s license, but Wilbur Slockish never got to fish them. Army Corps of Engineers built the Dalles Dam across the Great River, submerging Celilo Falls in a brazen act of colonization. Wilbur’s father didn’t want him to see this happen, so he took the family away to live in Toppenish. Other families were forced to abandon their homes as the lively, ancient bazaar and the natural wonder that created it both disappeared beneath a reservoir. A boy in bib overalls, Wilbur Slockish, hefted freshly caught fish into a wooden box, and covered it with a wet gunny sack to keep it damp. They were so healthy and strong they stayed fresh even without ice.
