Greetings and salutations, dear readers. I recently made my first foray into writing articles about fishing, and I actually got published. Yay!

Fishing for Community Service: Casting for Recovery
My dad and I have been looking for a new fly rod for me (he kind of wants his Sage Z-Axis back, and I can't blame him), and I found out that Sage has a pink fly rod. *gasp* It doesn't come in the length that I need (and it's expensive), but it did lead me to an organization called Casting for Recovery (http://castingforrecovery.org/).
Fishing for Beauty in Writing
believe that beauty is inherent in the majority of the written language that we use. Most of the instances that come to my mind come from fishing books.

The beauty does not even have to come from erudite language that moves circuitously through meaning like a winding mountain stream. Henry Winkler’s (yes, the Fonz) writing perhaps best demonstrates the beauty in simple language.
