The Calvin Shrimp
Ask and ye shall receive. So, what are buddies for, if not to come through in the crunch? Keith sent me this photo of the actual fly he used to catch both his big sea-trout and his personal best Atlantic salmon, reported on previously. Here is his accompanying note:...
More From Across the Pond
When good fortune smiles, it smiles brightly. Having received another e-mail from good buddy Keith Hyett, with accompanying photo, my thought was this time it deserves to be told in the fisher’s own words. So, from Keith’s e-mail comes this: Subject: “Same Pool, Same...
From Across the Pond
