Why Fish?

Had a wonderful day on the Sound last week fishing for Sea Runs with Sam Snyder, Teeg Stouffer, Dylan Rose and Jason Rolfe. Despite the gale force winds we managed to find some sheltered coves and some of us even managed to catch a few fish.

Beyond just a great day on the water Sam was left pondering the fish, the fishing, and the words of Roderick Haig-Brown, who loved fishing for coastal cutts as much as he loved fishing for steelhead or salmon.
