Well, per usual, I managed to get myself sick either during or right after my return home from a fantastic trip to Alaska and the result is that anyone with stock in Alka-Seltzer cold and flu plus and/or Mucinex should be doing well right about now…

June is here!!!  Hard to believe, but it’s true.  The weather has been slowing down the hatches and dry fly fishing in general.  It has been very sporadic to say the least.  There are bugs hatching, but nothing like it should be at this
