The new online issue of “Catch” magazine… We WILL be talking lots about fly fishing from boats in the not-too-distant future!
Good works…
Astute readers will note that the above Bull Trout is not a fish often caught (if ever) under sail. That said it it really is an awesome bit of art by David Wilson and it would look great on a t-shirt! As it happens not only can you get a t-shirt of the Bull Trout …
