Enjoying retirement in the great Pacific Northwest.  I've turned into a fair weather angler.  Why do it today when I can do it tomorrow?

This is interesting, we have a ton of bow fisherman here and they just have to compete with the other anglers. I wonder if this is to help insure a successful harvest
