Two dads, two sons, and two days on Michigan's Muskegon River from parts near and far—that's what Gil and Tom and their sons Nick and Will filed away in their memory banks yesterday and today. Honestly, RiverQuest guide Jay Allen and I wondered how the...
Man, do I love it when I have the privilege of guiding a family group assembled from near and far by a grandfather whose love for his grandsons led him to book a two boat fly fishing trip with Captain Don Graham and me. What...
