Retired environmental scientist, lifelong salmonid-chaser, flowing-water addict. Financial supporter of fishing guides from Alaska to Massachusetts, Labrador to Argentina, and many places in-between. Fabricator of artificial flies with greater attractiveness to me than to the fish I throw them at. Searcher of maps for thin blue lines and the possibility of solitude. Grateful student of all those I have been fortunate enough to fish with over the years.
