Today I had the pleasure of joining Riverway on a water journey through Winona County. We started the day with a video at the Whitewater State Park interpretive center. The video, presented by park naturalist Dave Palmquist, talked about the change that ensued after the flood of August 2007. We investigated what we had learned [...]

Pay back is a fish for me at this point in my life. I am buried deep into primary research that consists of things that I love. In August I instructed university students in fly fishing history, ethics, and casting. I have traveled to Lake Superior’s North Shore seeking Pink Salmon and Longnose Suckers. I [...]
