We’re diving for home (or second base - thanks, Tom Bridge!) like Pete Rose circa 1975.
Thanks, Sports Illustrated.
Here’s the Fresh Air interview with Rose.

Watching this video is the equivalent of getting a dog treat, it’s good but that dog wants more.
Really nice shots from Bobby Foster here in “Where the Wild Fish Are”
Finally, someone brings the Led out in a completely respectable fashion. +10 points to In The Riffle. The shot starting at 1:05 is pretty dope. One fish, TWO fish bayyyybayyy!!!
Friday’s Word of the Day is: “Arapaima.”
Arapaima are the world’s largest freshwater fish. Growing up to 400 lbs, they are truly monsters. And they eat flies. Diiiiirrrrrrtyy is the only word to describe it. Dirty with 6 r’s.
Thanks for the post from Third Coast Fly that inspired this one.
Ivan shows off some of the beautiful browns he’s been able to pull out of Montana’s rivers as well as a 24” “farewell” brown he caught just before his move down to Colorado. Enjoy!
Put our name on the card!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY T.S. ELIOT!
The early days of the American republic were confusing, geographically—with some states balking at the terms of union and the British army inconveniently trying to displace American statesmen from taverns in Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, the fledgling nation’s capital often changed at a moment’s notice (and then changed again).
The shortest-reigning capital city was Lancaster, PA, which, on September 27, 1777, played host to the Continental Congress for exactly one day. Fleeing a British army attack on Philadelphia, they worked out of the Lancaster Courthouse, built in 1737, and were comparatively productive, settling on the nomination of Benjamin Franklin as unofficial ambassador to France (from whom the Congress hoped to secure assistance).
Alas, Lancaster was still too close to the Atlantic seaboard for comfort, and on the morning of September 28, 1777, the Congress decamped for York, PA, where they stayed for nearly seven months.
