As soon as our travel plans were finalized, Eric started talking about a river I'd barely heard of. "We gotta hit the [REDACTED] River," he said. "I've heard lots of whispering about some big browns there in spring and fall, but I've never had the chance to fish it." When I mentioned that I hadn't heard any such rumors, Eric just said, "Exactly," and smiled knowingly.
