Burrito's and Bristol Bay

From the desk of THE DUDE who's doing a lot of great work in the effort to preserve Bristol Bay you can tell a few things:

1.  Microwave burrito's are man fuel.

2.  We better get our asses in GEAR to make sure Bristol Bay stays as is.

3.  He's got good choices in stickers.

Trout, Beer and a Little Bristol Bay...

So if you're buying, I do have a hankering for the Northern Lights Crystal Bitter

Just saying...

But back to the point, if you're in town, you probably should go to this meeting, member of TU or not.  I am excited to hear the perspective of Dwayne Meadows, Bristol Bay National Outreach Director of TU Alaska.

See you there.

I hate Sean Visintainer....

Well, not really at all.  He's one of my best friends. 

If I was to hate him, I do have cause though....

Besides owning the Silver Bow Fly Shop and making all the ladies heart's flutter with his beautiful smile
(so they say)

He casts too freaking well, he catches too many fish.

He's gone to Alaska before me, and

He's crossed off leopard Alaskan Rainbows off his list.

Off to fish the rivers of the Bristol Bay Region, he reported that he's found fishing nirvana. 

Fishing with K8 and Justin Crump's crew...many fish fell to their flies in a week's worth of filming and exploration

Again, he's a bastard..
