October 10, 2016November 6, 2016 / douglas paton / 2 Comments

About a year before my daughter was born, I got my first fly rod. Next to the birth of my daughter, it proved to be one of the most transformative things that ever happened to me. Over the course of that one year I went from a casual angler to being obsessed with fishing to … Continue reading 5 Surprising Ways Fishing Can Make You A Better Parent

Still Better Than A Good Day At Work

September 12, 2016September 12, 2016 / douglas paton / Leave a comment

I had a run of lousy luck this summer.
