One of the biggest problems that we as river and stream fishermen face is how to efficiently carry a container of worms with us on our next fishing trip. If you are anything like me a river fishing trip can cover a couple of miles of river and involve crossing said river three to ten times. I carry my spinners, spoons, split-shot, pliers, and hooks in my fishing vest. So all of my fishing equipment is easily accessible, and ready to go. I used to have a problem with where to carry a couple of containers of worms. I would just put them in my vest and go from there. But then I ran into the problem of them getting hot and dieing, and not to mention the fact that it was a complete pain in the rear-end to access them. It just wasn't efficient at all. It got to the point that I wouldn't even use worms because it was such a fiasco to take them with me and use them.
Then I met my fishing mentor and he was doing something that I saw as ingenious! It was one of the simplest and most effective things that I had ever seen. He had taken an old sock from his sock drawer, and cut the end where your foot goes off. This created a little "bag" of sorts. This "bag" was then attached with a safety pin to your vest. Well, this little "bag" fit a container of worms in it perfectly. You would simply take the worms out of the container and put them into the sock bag. When it got too hot outside, you simply dipped the sock full of worms into the cool water, and they were good to go. And believe it or not, the worms don't crawl out! They all just stay in a ball in the bottom of the bag, waiting to be used as your next piece of live bait. It's true; I've been using this method for more than 20 years and have never had the little buggers crawl out.
This method also helps with the problem of Styrofoam worm containers being left along a stream or river. Since you're taking the worms out of the container before you are actually fishing, the container waits at your vehicle, not on the river. This is another wonderful aspect of this kind of carrier....no pollution.
So there you have it. Make your own sock bag in order to carry your worms or power bait or whatever, or go somewhere like JRWfishing.com and purchase one that's much cooler looking a bit larger than a sock hanging from your vest or shirt. Either way, the important thing is to take advantage of this little jewel of information. I promise you, if you implement this idea into your next river fishing trip, you will not be disappointed. It's one of the most convenient ideas that I've ever come across.

The dynamics of oxygen production and use in a pond are complex and can be difficult to quantify. Plankton and algae in the water can produce some oxygen, but basing the oxygen consumption on only the organisms you are raising in the pond or lake will lead to under estimation, as wild organisms will inevitably occupy the same body of water. This leads to a need for sufficient aeration, and it has been shown that a fountain style or aerator is much more efficient than a paddle aerator, especially in brackish water. Pond aeration can make the difference between a swampy, stinking mess, and a healthy, thriving aquaculture with high production.
They say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. Fortunately, you're not likely to have a bad day fishing when you're surrounded by the natural beauty of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Scenic Byway in Maryland (also known as the Catoctin Mountain Scenic Byway.) Take a day off and drive the route to fish-filled rivers, lakes, and ponds where you can let your line slack and your mind wander.
When you think of beaches, you probably don't immediately think of Idaho. A ride on the Pend Oreille Scenic Byway, however, will surely change that. Located in the northern tip of Idaho, this byway introduces you to miles of open shoreline, surrounding a vast lake filled with schools of fish. Bright green surrounds the beaches, throwing shadows in all the right places-the perfect setting for a day of fishing.
