Posted on January 23rd, 2010
Spent the day wandering Somerset with Murdock from Fly Fish Magazine, pictured here holding a Hardy reel that’s worth more than your life. More to come later.

Were you not bored to tears? My Take: http://bit.ly/4t9hqz
Pete, Thanks again for lunch. It was great to meet up with you after all these years. I buy the beer next time. I actually enjoyed the sbow a lot more than the one in Charlotte. Maybe it is because the Charlotte one is smaller and has the same seminars which I have seen over and over again.
Was it good for you? Anything cool re; new fly gear or techniques, etc?

Hi folks! I enjoy your site. I just wanted all recreational fishermen to know that the gill net war is heating up here in NC.
A lawsuit is about to be filed in Federal Court against the NC Division of Marine Fisheries for allowing gill netters to capture and kill endangered and threatened Sea Turtles in NC coastal waters.
Since NC and MS are the only two southern coastal states that still allow this archaic method of fishing, this lawsuit holds the potential for striking the death grip that the NC politicians have held on protecting this craziness.
There is a groundswell of support growing here in the recreational fishing community to support this lawsuit. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of an ugly chapter of fishing history here in NC.
My name is Dean Phillips, and our NC group, the CFRG (Coastal Fisheries Reform Group) is actively engaged in this movement, and have been for over a year now. You can follow the events at our blogsite, http://www.cfrgnc.blogspot.com
Please stay tuned, as we are sure the “you know what” is about to hit the fan here in NC!
Thanks for your support!
