The new year is here and last year is in the memory archives. As I get older I find that creature comforts become more and more important as does time spent with family. To that end, I bought a new camper to make my stay away from home on fishing trips more enjoyable (if that is at all possible) and to make room to take the family on trips. I'll include some pics of the camper in during my first trip in April.

Then too, since I’m always on the hunt for new fly fishing partners, I think I found one. He’s my grandson and while he’s only three, he shows enthusiasm, drive and interest. I hope I’m still around to enjoy time with him on the stream when he matures. Until that happens I'll continue to search for others who share my passion for the sport and can spend some valuable time on the stream.
