A gumbo of fly-fishing, conservation, politics and days afield, for what it is worth....
A while back I decided I needed an alternative to a ski hat for the winters here in the Valley. My first Stormy Kromer was a nice refined green wool one (it has even been to the White House). I later added a waxed cotton one to use when guiding in the rain.
At some point this fall/winter I mentioned to MRS that I fancied a buffalo plaid one. To my delight Lily gave me one for Christmas.
If you don’t know about Stormy Kromer hats you should. They are classics.
Last month I was a guest on Dave Stewart’s Wet Fly Swing podcast. Dave is great host, we chatted for over an hour and covered a lot of ground!
Kudos to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, now will the The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission step up?
Ten years have passed in a blink of the eye. This is the tribute I wrote for the News Virginian in 2009. I don’t think I can do any better today.
