So many places, so little time

By Anglerwannabe On March 3, 2011 · 2 Comments

Kind of a cool site… I have the book but haven’t actually started marking off this list yet.

I have 46 more to go and I counted a trip I’m taking next month. So, how many do you have left? Do you have a bucket list like this? Or maybe a […]

Alaska Chronicles and Why My Dream to Guide in the Northern-most state is Over

By Anglerwannabe On October 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Yes, in the back of my mind, I thought just maybe…. I’ll run off to Alaska and ditch all my responsibilities to spend every waking hour on the water either catching monster fish or helping others land the fish of their lifetime.

At The Rivers Edge Book in progress

By Anglerwannabe On February 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’m in the process of reading Jerry Kustich’s book, “At the River’s Edge: Lessons Learned in a Life of Fly Fishing”. I’ve been reading John Gierach books at night for the last few years and although I love them, it’s nice to a book with a different voice and […]
