Every year, we spend weeks trying to sum up an entire year full of memorable moments. We include all the goings on here in Libby, and tales from wherever our love of fly fishing happened to take us during the year. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find in this year’s newsletter.
We hope you enjoy it and we hope to make you a part of our special memories for 2014!
