Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with Baymen Dick Bowman, discussing fishing & hunting experiences past and present. Dick also took it upon himself to restock my fly boxes! Wow… Thank you, Dickie. You are one heck of a guy and I count myself blessed as a guide to have the pleasure of putting you on the fish all these years. What a season we got ahead of us…!
