McCartney, 65, posed for a photograph for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization accompanied by the words: “I am Paul McCartney and I am a vegetarian”. It also features the quote: “Many years ago, I was fishing, and as [...]

Sunglasses are one of those items I remember just after a gust of wind brings the weighted 2/0 Muddler on a collision course for my nose. I wear them, but at this late stage of my physical decline, the glasses that let me see the fly take precedence.
For the angling fashionista, sunglasses are a [...]

I go to the doctor with assorted ailments and he prescribes I eat a carp a day and call him in the morning?

Daytripper expressed his suffering a month ago with his magical post on trite overused angling phrases, but it appears as if [...]
