Aside from being a hobby, I'm a Fly Fishing Guide in Alaska. As well as a SteelHead Guide here in WNY.

Just finished up some EMP in a Briar Bird Billiard.
Before that it was some FVF in a B. Kalnitz Billiard
And first thing in the morning it was some Pease Chelsea Morning in a CustomBilt Billiard
All paired with Black Coffee of course.
