March has come in like a lion, just based on how the wind is blowing outside. The water is high, and if that’s your thing don’t be afraid to get out there! If it’s not, then stay inside, tie some flies, or organize the fly boxes. All of those ideas are covered in the selection that we have for you today.

By the time you’re reading next week’s edition you might still be in the tryptophan-induced stupor from eating turkey on Thanksgiving.

But for today, pour yourself a hot cup of coffee, grab a chair, and enjoy what we have for you this week!
