  1. This is all well and good if you live out west. I would say there are as many fly fishers on the east coast from Maine through Key West.
    When are you going to acknowledge that fact and have as many articles/videos/pod casts for us. We fish as much in the winter as the boys out West.
    80% of my rods, reels and gear have Orvis on the labels.

    thanks
