Sinking in West Virginia by Adam Swett | Sep 6, 2019 | Video, WhitewaterI missed out on sinking in a squirt boat last year when I moved to Virginia from Maine but didn’t miss out on kayaking.

Why should I care?…funny you should ask by Herschel Finch | May 5, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, rivers, United StatesNot sure if you’ve noticed but I’m kind of a clean water and tree-hug’n/Dirt-worshiper type.

The Greenbrier by Blace Hutchens | Sep 20, 2017 | FishingThe Greenbrier is 173 miles of pristine, crystal clear river. It is one of the longest free flowing rivers in the world that is not dammed. I believe the name comes from the beautiful green hue the water seems to retain in the deeper pools or maybe it is named for...
