03. Book pick: The Optimist: A Case for the Fly Fishing Life by David Coggins

Coggins offers an excellent modern tribute to an ageless pastime, and a practical guide to the art, philosophy, and rituals of fly fishing, by an expert, lifelong angler.

04. Audio pick: Marina Gibson on a Passion for Teaching on April Vokey's podcast Anchored

In June 2019, Marina Gibson launched the Northern Fishing School at Swinton Estate in North Yorkshire. There, she teaches fly fishing while at the same time connecting as many people as possible to the great outdoors.

On the podcast, Marina and April Vokey chat about finding a home base, starting a career in fishing, and why working and fishing can be so exhausting.

05. Quote of the Week

"With a fly rod, anglers are not casting to a fish; rather to a circle of dreams: ripples that spread into every aspect of their lives.”
