2010 Fishing Goals

Every January I sit down and think of all the adventures and places I want to visit. I also think of other things I want to do and learn in a year. In all its a great way to push myself in to new places and dreams I never thought I would reach. 

This I want to go back to my roots, I want to fish more with dries and an old bamboo rod. I want to spend time with the ones that introduced me to this great sport. I really want to in someway thank those that have given me so much, I cant find any better way then by fishing with them.

It held the rods as we got them ready and with the padded protection didn’t scratch up the Denali. In all a great buy for $10 bucks.
