HATCH | A rod tip

By

Todd Tanner shares arguably the most important fishing tip out there.

It is a provocative article that starts with a discussion about whether you should string your rod and tie on a fly before heading to the water or do all that after getting to the water. There is a chilling account that posits a solid reason for being in the “before” camp.

In true click bait fashion, I’m not going to spoil a good story or reveal the tip. You are going to have to read the article to learn what it is. I promise it is worth it.

FWIW, I agree with Todd…

A lot is at stake on November 6th.

If you don’t vote then you miss the chance to 1) change the make up of our government if you are unhappy or 2) ratify the status quo if you are happy.

But not voting is a shameful, selfish act. You don’t deserve to enjoy of the benefits of citizenship if you are not willing to participate in this most basic civic responsibility.

You can learn more about what at stake by reading US Midterm Elections 2018 – Vote on November 6  from Patagonia.
