Competitive Fishing and Responsibility

Competitive Fishing and Responsibility

This article, like many I’ve written, began with a conversation I had with my brother, Tom. Tom and I are brothers separated by a mutual hobby. We both love to fish but in very different ways.

Some of the many fish I caught a couple of weeks ago at Patagonia Baker Lodge. Didn’t set any records, but all the fish were solid, and made us work for them. Nymphs, big & small dries, and streamers-all worked! A fantastic place and people. We even got a copter flight in down to the lodge.
