Thank you!
There's always a story behind the story, with my stuff---
-EFF mag got in touch with me not long ago, lamenting that they had assigned an "Exposure" piece to another guy interested in doing an installment---but as happens more times than editors would like, the fellow fell through on it. So, they asked if I could put something together for them, asap, to meet the deadline that was already upon them. I had done one other "Exposure" installment for them a few years ago (winter fly fishing in NY--- I recall freezing my butt off on that one!). I've been with the magazine over 10 years now---nearly 30 articles-

I love your piece on the rt20 corridor
Thanks fishcane---The
Rt 20 corridor article was a favorite of mine--brought back many memories, going back many decades. As Jerry Garcia once commented, "
I was always willing to sell out way back---but no one was buying." It gives me great joy sharing with others my favorite destinations. I don't write about places, as a general rule, unless I discovered them myself, or they were handed down to me by my grandfather---with only one or two exceptions, after "clearing with another finder," and involving the finder in the story---Many places I'd love to write about, and have been asked to write about, are "off limits," by my own rule.
Eastern Fly Fishing mag has run quite a few of my "Catskill" stuff---some were suggested by the editors.
You can get PDF electronic copies through their website---here's a good one:

And you can get these also, as PDfs: I couldn't recall all of them, but here's some--
