Wild and wacky, but under warranty

Question: Why is Kilby’s mail so full of fishing rods in need of repair?

Answer: Because Kilby is a warranty supervisor for Far Bank Enterprises, in charge of overseeing warranty claims for both Sage and Redington brand fly fishing rods. He receives the damaged equipment and, like a fishing-obsessed crime scene investigation tech, sifts through the owner’s story and the physical evidence to ensure, if at all possible, the damage is covered.

It almost always is, he said, which makes the stories even funnier.

Can we reduce striped bass bycatch?

In just a few more weeks, the first fish from New England will begin to appear in the waters off eastern Long Island.

And as soon as they do, the stories will start of hundreds of stripers floating dead on the surface, victims of trawlers that couldn’t, or couldn’t bother, to rein in their bycatch.
