ThE CrEeP- coming soon to a river near you!!!
So I suppose I had better post about fishing again soon. It has been a long winter so thanks to people who stick around in the close season. Come open season my visitors always jump up as they know I will start fishing again soon- or at least that thing I call fly fishing- I…
A Walk in the Snow!
