Happy New Year from Casting Across!
As per usual, I don’t exert myself too much when putting holiday articles together. That said, what you’ll find below is worth a few minutes of your time.
Because it is lists. And everyone on the internet loves lists.
This list of lists includes a few things that you will enjoy. One is personal. I list my top 3 fish of 2023. Then, I lay out three “resolutions” that you might add to your fly fishing in 2024. Finally, I share the top three articles of the prior year. They’re all pretty good… but #3 is excellent.
So here they are: 3 sets of 3 for the New Year.
Top 3 Fish
- The first Letort brown trout on my Ed Shenk Flea.
- My son’s giant bass on a late summer evening.
- A sub-6″ brookie from a trickle in suburbia.
Top 3 Resolution Recommendations
- Purposefully pursue a new species. Even if it is something small and quirky, try your hand at a “fresh” fish.
- Read more. Add a fly fishing book each month or quarter.
- Take someone fishing. Learn how you teach; then learn to teach better.
