Wow. It has been a great long weekend for fly fishing. And, great service, food and scenery as usual at Tall Timber Lodge (see above unfiltered photo). Over three-and-a-half days, I landed 48 fish, most of which were good-sized and some were enormous for that part of the country. The highlight was catching two large wild

Fly Fishing in the Great North Woods
