Trico: What you didn’t even know was there is now gone…

There is something intimate and unique about being on the water at first light. Not the published news paper time when the sun crests the horizon. I’m talking about standing in a stream ready to fish when that slow descent of “civil twilight” begins to mix with the darkness of night. When rays of sun [...]

FromTheForum: Aaron Laing’s “A Little Afternoon Practice With The Frenchie”

I knocked off for an extended lunch today and went down to my local crick for a little practice with the long line and a couple of newly minted #14 frenchies.
