The 200 followers contest: I have not done the drawing yet. What I really wanted to say was thanks to everyone who took the time to offer comments and suggestions. It is truly gratifying to hear from so many of you, and to be able to put some words and thoughts to names.

I am currently at work on a steelhead article for American Angler. It should be out in a couple months.

Speaking of articles, I am going to try to post some of the older ones I’ve written on the site soon. Yeah, I know, you’ve heard that before. No, but I am. Really.
