FOLLOW… …@guidethoughts and @beadsuckingworm for some high quality non-PC Instagram snark on all things fly fishing. Do not follow them if you are a fly fishing influencer looking to push CBD products. ANOTHER SHOUT OUT… ...To climate change and the GTs getting caught further south than usual along the South African coast line. If anglers could stop killing everything for a photo opp and a braai, we look forward to Breede river becoming a flats fishing destination for bonefish and GTs in about ten years’ time.* *This message is in no way affiliated with Koch Industries.
