After a tougher bite yesterday and high winds forecasted for the day today, everybody was a little tenative as they headed into boats this morning. The forecasters nailed the weather–high winds were definately going to give us a run for our money. Much to our...
Matt & Jay joined me today for the first of their groups two day get away. This was Matt's first time with a Spey rod and he took to it like a true champion. I just wish he would have been rewarded for the casts...
