Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
From Blast to Cast – Montana to Iowa
On a recent hunting and fishing trip that I’ve labeled “blast to cast”, I had a special day whereby I took a Montana-Medley of upland game birds; three pheasants, two sharp-tail grouse and one Hungarian Partridge.
