Swinging Streamers in Swelling Streams
-Good afternoon ladies and gents Just got back from a good ol’ streamer swinging session on Birch Stream in Alton, and I must say that this has been the nicest day of Spring thus far. It turns out my opening day spot was nowhere near where I wanted to be fishing. Maine Guide Kevin Tracewski [...]
