Fly-fishing, Hunting, and the Outdoors

Index: (NEW!) WHERE TO GO FISHING (U.S.A.) Fishing Outdoor Humor HUNTING AND OUTDOORS Some of the articles and stories first appeared in Matthew Dickerson's biweekly fishing and outdoor column in the Addison Independent. There is also a scattering of pieces from his forthcoming book. These pieces are full of fishing, hunting, and general outdoor tips and general reflections for Vermont and elsewhere (Montana, New Mexico, Maine, Alaska, Spain)--including some specifics about "where to go". For those interested in outdoor humor (or vague attempts at it) I've also collected at the end some of my articles written on the lighter side
