The Naturalist's Angle: Fly fishing brotherhood
http://naturalistsangle.blogspot.com/2014/04/fly-fishing-brotherhood.html

Morgan posted a little over two weeks ago about a fellow fly fisherman in need. I decided to do what I could to help a member of the brotherhood. even though I didn't know him, and he didn't know me.
