"A Tough Few Months"


BOB ROMANO is back this week with a personal reflection on how, as a long-time fly fisher, he's navigating the choppy waters of the pandemic, social division, and economic unpredictability.  Our predicament, he says, is much like that of the brook trout. "I am encouraged," he says, "by these brook trout that have survived their natural enemies, endured extreme flood and drought, and even the dredging of their stream."  Read "It's Been a Tough Few Months."

DRY FLIES, FOUL-MOUTHED DAUGHTERS AND THE WORLD'S BEST CHERRY PIE: FISHING WISCONSIN'S DRIFTLESS AREA

"On my third cast of the morning, I hear the tell-tale clunk of the fly hitting the rod. I figure no big deal. Just a quick untangle and we’re back in business. But oh what a tangle. No excuses either — there was no wind, and the creek runs through an open, grassy pasture. The banks are high but I’m fishing straight upstream. There’s nothing I was trying to avoid that might have made my cast wonky. Just a rushed back cast and an epic tangle." Read on...
