Nice to see. Keep any updates coming that you guys find. I love staying current on this.

I feel like taking the week off and just going fishing!

Jeremiah, I noticed you were from BC. I worked for CTV during the 2010 games. I asked the president of the IOC if there was a possibility that Fly Fishing could become an Olympic Sport. He firmly said, NO! His reasoning was that it harmed fish. I explained barbless hooks, catch and release etc. He had no reply when I asked about the horses used in equestrian events during the summer games. I would love to see it happen.
