Limitations Guide Growth
At 56 years old, camping ain’t what it used to be. The blow-up camping pad is quite a bit thicker now. Getting in and out of a tent isn’t as easy, and the number of times you get up in the middle of the night only seems to increase the older I get.
All those little things start to add up and make you wonder, “Is it really worth all the effort?”
Our first day found us way up a four wheel drive road, back in the deep woods. We wanted to venture far, get away from people, and dedicate ourselves to bushwhacking a stream in the hopes of catching some brook trout.
As it steadily drizzled on us for most of the day, I watched Ed move up and over huge boulders and fallen trees, around and through soggy bushes and plants, like they weren’t even there. His youthful agility is something to behold. He moves without fear or reservation, at least that’s how it looks.
That’s when it struck me…

In the number one slot on the GFW Bucket List is a trip down to the mecca of bonefishing. Site fishing and hooking one of these incredible slabs would be nothing short of a fishing orgasm!

What We Are Reading
Attached. by Dr. Amir Levine & Rachel S.F. Heller
Recommended by Peter Stitcher of @AscentFlyFishing. Here is what he had to say about the book:
“There's been certain books that have been really healing and instrumental in my growth that we've ended up recommending them to so many guys. We ended up buying about a dozen copies that we will stamp with the shop address in the front cover. And as guys need it, we send them out the door with one of those books. And I think the one book that I probably put out there most is Attached.”
