The good people over at Filson ran one of my guest posts on what to pack for an out-of-state fly fishing trip. I have had the opportunity to do a bit of traveling with my wife and every time we are going to see someone, I see what type of fishing I can get to in the area. The article ...

I am halfway through my third full year of posting here on Arizona Wanderings, and honestly I love it.
