Facebook asks, "What have you been up to?"
Obviously in my case, one answer would have to be FISHING! My cousin Bruce sent me this photo tonight. I'm probably around 8 years old. I'm in northern Michigan at either Burt Lake with my Grandfather or at Elk Lake with my Father.
I think I first picked up a fly rod a year or two earlier. It was a light brown fiberglass Eagle Claw rod that was as stiff as a broom handle. No catch and release for me. It was always catch and eat!
