I vividly remember that beautiful warm September day like it was yesterday. Those I had shared my day with, the run, the fly, and a steelhead that left such an indelible recollection some thirty years later. This fall after being denied access to British Columbia I have since longingly reflected on my time there. Of […]
The weather has been extremely unpredictable of late with extreme cold, than back to back snow storms into a warm pineapple express.
