Most of my time is spent fly fishing the creeks, bays, salt ponds and rivers that compose coastal backwaters. Backwaters may be off the beaten path, out of the "mainstream" if you will, they may be difficult to get to and in terms of fishing, will probably not yield that "fish of a lifetime". But any fisherman who has spent any time in the backwaters will tell you that they are indeed affected by the current of the river proper and that they are in fact a mainstream of activity. In these backwaters life happens, solitude is found, stories are created, friendships are forged and memories are made.
If you fish long enough you come to an understanding that fishing isn't really about fishing at all. This blog, while centered around fly fishing, isn't really about fly fishing. It's about the life that comes from it.
