Footsteps & Connections

I didn’t reconnect with fishing until I started going to Community College after High School.  It was around this time I started to get panic attacks too.  While I was on medical leave from work due to the frequency and severity of my panic attacks, I turned to a pastime I had almost forgotten…fishing.  I went … Continue reading »

Grip it and STRIP IT!!!

Sunday I headed to Grant County to get my Driftless fix, in hopes that I might find some caddis hatching despite the cloudy forecast.  After poking around the earlier hours with a small streamer I only had one rainbow to show for it.  As I moved around and waited for the sun to gain momentum … Continue reading »
