Giving thanks
Seven years ago, I asked Marcia Woolman, the first woman to win the Ray Mortenson Award, the highest honor Trout Unlimited gives to a volunteer, what was most important for volunteers.

Weighted flies? Or a sinking line?
Pike will do real damage to your flies. Check out the thread damage to the fly on the left, which is weighted with dumbbell eyes. I just got back from an epic adventure in northern Manitoba—my son and I spent eight days chasing pike and walleye on McGavock Lake at Laurie River Lodge. I love…
