WA author recounts joys of a ‘ridiculous activity filled with staggering amounts of failure’

Duda's been writing about fish for a loooong time. A few of y'alls may remember his "ass-hooked whitey" blog, and I bet there's still a bunch of folks who recall the glory days of the "Buster Wants to Fish" blog.

He's a good egg.

Did some writers on the fly nights with Steve, fun times! Aiming to show for Steve's Third Place books signing next week. Matt Delorme, the artist that illustrated this book, is also terrific
