When I think of fly fishing from a sporting standpoint, I can’t help but equate it to running. I am a runner, but very much on my own schedule, fairly inconsistently and, most importantly, no drama. In other words, I like to go at different times of day, at various […]
It’s summer time and the living is easy! My hometown of San Diego is the perfect summer vacation town, and it’s well known for this. We are extremely family friendly with miles of easily accessible sand beaches, good surf for body boarders and surfers, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Legoland, […]
