Since between now and November you’re bound to hear countless opinion polls, straw polls, and reporters’ questions to the man on the street, I thought I’d add to it by asking a bunch of people what they thought of online media options as they pertain to fishing.

ALASKA: “Red Gold” Soon to be Historical Footage

Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Other Blogs, Save the World, Travel, Worthless Opinions, tagged , , , on August 30, 2008 | No Comments »

Dead Tree Must Live
