I resolve, To Be Nicer to White Fish in 2010

December 30, 2009 Fly Fishing

Fraudulent Fishing Behaviors

December 2, 2009 Fly Fishing

They say you can judge the character of a man by the company he keeps. (I’ll assume that principle applies to woman as well)  I know I gravitate to those I would consider like minded individuals who enjoy the same things I do. So basically that means I hang out with fisher types who consider a day on the water superior [...]
