The Vernal Equinox means different things to different people. For fly Fishers it means more time on the water with a fly rod in your hand.
Winter is winding down, although begrudgingly. Just when I think the weather is going to cooperate enough to get back on the water, another storm comes along or the Montreal Express comes down to put us in a big freeze.
Growing up, if you wanted to find some fly fishing information, you either bought a copy of Field and Stream or you watched Gadabout Gaddis on television. Gadabout would travel to some iconic fly fishing spots with friends, and famous people.
The air was electric. The feeling was like three kids going to a candy store with no parental supervision, but with adult money.
The day is overcast and cannot make its mind up if it wants to rain or snow or do both. A day like this could become a shoveling nightmare.
It seems like I just finished doing my taxes and now they are due again. The year just flew by, but fortunately I crammed a lot of fishing and traveling in.
When I saw that the Great Bay Trout Unlimited Chapter 613 was hosting author David Van Wie I asked Coach Jim Boulanger (Coach B ) to go along for a ride. David has written what I consider a new fly fishing classic. I am an avid reader and writer and I don’t say that lightly.
