I now live in the UK. The River Dee and the flies and history have always been fascinating to me, even moreso than the River Spey. Went to Windsor castle, inside was about 20 minutes cool. Outside was fascinating. The pub was even better. Got the “Go” for a River Dee trip. Funny… the...

No oxygen...left A/C at 18.9k‘. Tapped pilot Dude on shoulder and said I have to get out now. Hypoxia is cool right up until it’s not.🤣

I don’t need as much adrenaline as in the past; but, I’ve done whatever it takes when people needed help/assistance. Some pretty gnarly stuff. There was a sticker on the outside of the plane we left, “God bless the Freaks”.

I broke down in the Gulf of Mexico…Dang long night as CG had to drag my Asz back out 30nm to tow another boat in. When we finally got to the dock, another 30nm away, I pulled out my checkbook; and, CG dude said it’s no charge. What sucked was I had Tow”what a jip”BoatUS but was 3 nm out of their...

I only guided flyfishing and whitewater for 9 years. Can’t even imagine. To me, this is an incredible life history. I had the best and most special times and beyond amazing experiences; but, Dang it was a lot of hard work. 🏴‍☠️ Ed

Had a friend/employee who had, what we call, a “splash back” on a pit toilet on an “S” river. He was traumatized. Took off clothing and bathed in +-50 degree water. He wasn’t the same the rest of the day. To make it even more funny, there was a Wag Bag system on the boat that I used. 🤣

On the move so didn’t read entire thread. Apologies if redundant. As a guide, I had an adder on my policy should things go side ways that covered “emergency rescue”. There are also personal/individual policies available. I carried a marine radio, SPOT, EPIRB and - Sat phone (when indicated)...

Well, since we’re moving across the pond and I have to sell my smoker (the company won’t move it), I’m slightly pissed off. I made a big batch today for our local first responders; and Dang, it came out good. When I was in a rush for guide trips, this isn’t too Darn bad. I do skip the liquid...

Doubt anyone cared or noticed…our soon to be new location of Cobham, England, 3.5 hours to the River Dee and 9 hours to the River Spey. I bought a Texas cowboy hat and put an Akroyd Fly on it. It will be interesting to see how many people notice. “The Crazy American, How can I help You!!! Ed

Freshly spawned My Asz. Ed Edit - I’m at least a 4 salt.

I have really great sense of humor, right up until I don’t . I’m here. Thank You, Ed
