One of the few upsides for me to this Pandemic is having caught up on my reading. I have also had more time to reflect personally about, well, life. It has been said that it’s truly an ill wind that blows no good.

Hexagenia Limbata. It may sound like some obscure medical term, but the Hex or Michigan Caddis is a large mayfly and for those flyfishers in the know, it means the possibility of catching the largest brown trout of the year on dry flies.

No matter how difficult, just hold on as this too shall pass and just as I found tranquility in the ride, in the not too distant future we will all look back and realize how our faith, diligence and shear tenacity allowed us to outlast all Covid-19 could muster.

For several years, Josh and I have traveled to Missoula, Montana for a few days of trout fishing. It’s been our “thing.” Not only are we able to spend a few days fishing in some of the country’s most spectacular scenery and fish the country’s most prolific trout streams, we have some father and son time.
