2025 was the 15th year of publication for Hatch Publication, and they’re having a look back at the stories that mesmerized readers the most throughout the previous year:
Usually, the most checked out stories are a healthy mix of gear-focused protection, pointers and how-to pieces, preservation journalism, and plain old fly fishing stories. This previous year was no exception with reader favorites varying from talk of fishing pole, fly lines, and books, to environment modification effect on fish populations, wild trout, fly casting, in addition to, for the 2nd year in a row, some extremely unwanted, mournful news.
