The last four days will (hopefully) be some of the hardest I’ve seen. I could go on about how tough it was (which would be a long and sad report) or talk about how the fishing was (that I can do briefly: cold, windy, and devoid of permit). I’ll do neither of these things. In…

However, just to prove a point, Aaron provided the following photos last night: Just getting a report now from Aaron, who took Carlo Regina today…
