Asking men to be more vulnerable is all the rage now-a-days. It seems like this is the main dialogue coming out of many talking heads about men. Some say it is to battle the scourge of toxic masculinity, while others say you just need to be better in touch with your emotions.
And before you read this and get us wrong, we at GFW are generally on the side of being more vulnerable.
But there are a few caveats to this.

Quote of the Week
“Solo experience now and then teaches the hard way, but the hard way is the unforgettable way.”
Trip We are Dreaming About
@redfin_charters looks to provide an amazing adventure!
If you have listened to any of our podcasts, then you’ve heard me talk about going fishing for Reds. It’s near the top of the Bucket List for the boys at GFW. Why? Because we are all about new adventures!

Fish of the Week
Thanks Jesse Males @backwaterflyfishing for showing off this early morning Red
What an unbelievable fish! Can’t wait to hunt for some of these bad boys.
Strike of the Week
What a take from @makoreels
The slomo just builds the suspense for this big take. Love to see that wake develop behind the target before the crush!
One Fly Pattern
The Sculpin with No Name by @midnightsuncustomflies
It may have no name yet, but that’s the greatest thing about fish…they don’t care! They, no doubt, will crush this gorgeous fly!
One Cause to Learn About
Coastal Conservation Association
The coastal fishing regions are under constant pressure to deal with the ever changing demands of commercialization and development. The CCA works tirelessly to help protect the regions fisheries so that the angling world can continue to enjoy it and the amazing opportunities it holds.
Their belief in the angling community as the best stewards for their cause demonstrates their value of community. The angling community needs to continue to support and do what we can to help. The GFW crew dreams of saltwater fly fishing and we support the work CCA does to help our dream come true.
