Back in the day I did many presentations at Trout Unlimited Chapters.
One thing I noticed in the crowd of the 24 plus presentations that I did was
the glaring lack of "children" at the meetings. The next generation was all
but being ignored.
I spoke at the 2010 Madison Fishing Expo. I can remember someone coming on
here and trying to minimize my speaking there because it was a "Hook and Bullet" crowd.
The guy finally came right out and said he didn't like the show because it wasn't a
fly fishing only venue.
Yes I talked about worms all the way up to flies to these people "kids" at the Madison Fishing Expo.
I am scheduled to speak there again in February of 2012. I have also been asked to speak
March 17th and 18th in Eau Claire at the "Hook & Bullets" crowd there.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a
precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think,
to enjoy, to love.
