The Stream Dream

November 3, 2019November 3, 2019 Jo Tango

For my birthday weekend, I fished yesterday with some fly-fishing buddies, and we had some great luck. I’m fortunate to be part of a tight circle of anglers, comprised of people obsessed with chasing trout. We often compare notes, share secret fly recipes, and fish together. They’re great guys, too.

After the Super Bowl, Patriots team captain Matt Slater was interviewed. He was wearing a baseball cap that said “Glory Deflectors.” Curious, I hit Google and found this interesting article about the team’s character coach Jack Easterby.
