I recall that my passion for fishing started at an early age, when groups of us would head down to the local pond to fish for trout, or chubs or suckers, or whatever would bite.

It’s always fun to catch fish with a new lure, and this was the case during my visit to Shekak Lake with White River Air in the spring of this year. With a spring trip you are expecting cold weather and cold water, which means we were anticipating having to slow things down in order to […]
