Just in case anybody is wondering where I have been. I got a new job working at the Orvis in Roseville. Its a great gig and I am really working to promote fly fishing in the community. We are having a special fly fishing day coming up with refreshments, seminars and great sales. I will post all the info down below. If you are in the neighborhood come by and say hi.
