Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
Rainy Days and Sundays
The truth is that we could have been shoveling the several inches of rain that fell upon Lebanon, Missouri as the U.S. was ‘springing forward’ this past Saturday night; knowing that the area has been drought stricken for a couple years, I am going to give the situation a casual but cold look the other […]
