One Great Day On The Water - I was beginning to think I was about to have the first January without running a trip since I began guiding over two decades ago. I'd lost everything I had on the books due to the two week freeze and other things, but finally got on the water on Sat more...

To Kill A Skunk! - Killing The Skunk
I managed to get in two very cold trips out of three I had scheduled. By that time, the handwriting was on the wall.
