I love stories about people learning how to fly fish. It’s heartening to see tangible proof that more people are taking up the sport these days, and I’m not just getting more and more territorial about my perceived stretch of any given river. Anyways – Jim Ryan put this story together for Oregon Live, and it’s worth a read (and a watch, as there’s video… Read More »Learning to Fly Fish on the Crooked River
