Each time we go fishing it's a new beginning. A chance to correct what we did wrong the last time, try a different fly, work on our presentation, fish a new place, extend our horizons.

New beginnings are wonderful. There is always a sense of optimism and hope.

This recipe has been modified form the original that Art Peck gave me while I was in Alaska.
