It was 65 yesterday. I hadn’t fished in quite awhile. I caught nothing, fell chest first into a muddy riverbank and had my fly rod come apart while casting… I’m not complaining though.

Check out my man Eric Hornung. No fishing in a long time.

My kids used to ask why I stopped the car and looked over almost every bridge we crossed. Now they don’t say anything and when I get back in the car 30 seconds later they ask, “any fish?” I don’t travel with my flyrod anymore… two snapped tips in car windows does that. My camera though is always with me.
