The rain as I had hoped had not stopped and now combined with wind was whipping the tree tops around in a falling leaf filled fury. For a momen...

I'm on a minimalist kick and replaced my vest with a Fishpond San Juan chest pack that?I really like. I asked the vendor who sold me the vest where I hook on my net and he didn't really have an answer, other than to say he doesn't use a net. Instead he "tails 'em." By that he meant that he brings the...
