                        Frank Connors has great stories

                        At our wonderful Mount Vernon library, when I spotted the book Stones and Stories, I thought I might enjoy it. And then I saw the author’s name, Frank Connors, and I knew this was going to be a very good book. And it is. Frank has… Read More

                                Every guide has a moment each season that means more than other trips.  For me that moment came on a trip in early October with a couple of repeat clients that I had taken out the year before.  The year before we had targeted trout and salmon moving… Read More
