It is at this time of year when I start to dust off my gear and think about getting out on the rivers. After 6 months on the Stillwaters it is nice to be getting back onto some moving water, fishing for some truly wild fish.

Hi Pat,
Hope you don’t mind me mailing you, have picked up your mail address from the Quest baits website.
