  • Is Fly Fishing Cool? Exploring the Culture

    Every morning I crawl out of bed around 5:00 am, usually slowly because it takes my body a minute to get going. After thirty-two years of making a living, shoeing horses will do that to a guy. I make a cup of coffee for my wife and me. I take hers to our bedroom while…
