How time flies these days. Its hard to believe that events, trips, tours, gigs and everything that you plan months if not years ahead come and go so fast. It seems like only a short time ago I was burdened with the stress of being properly organized for the 2025 Fly Fishing Show tour. I … Read more

It was a long but fun day yesterday. It began leaving Hayward at 4 AM for the Duluth Airport. It was my first business trip since moving into our new home in Wisconsin. I wasn’t sure how long it would take to get to the Duluth Airport nor what the parking scene would be. I’m … Read more
