Daughters. I have watched my husband happily announce that I was expecting a girl twice in our marriage. Mouths smile, but eyes squint, and brows furrow, and comments range from “Another one?” to “Well, maybe number 3 will be a boy” or “you are going to try for a boy, right?” There isn’t going to…

Small nymphs in the size 18-22 range are my least-favorite flies to tie—I’ve got fat fingers, and my vision isn’t what it once was, either. But these little flies can be absolutely deadly on spring creeks and tailwaters, and hitting these rivers and streams without small, unassuming midge nymphs and attractors is a mistake. Video…

I’ve even taken a shine to wearing T-shirts that make subtle statements, depending on whom I’m meeting with online. Top choices now include some old…
