Jake Gates and Marley make the pages of TFFJ.

Pick up the latest issue of The Fly Fish Journal. Page through and look for some familiar faces.

Some of you will remember the petite stray Border Collie from last year’s adventures on the Missouri River. Others will remember the lanky form of bouncy shop rat / fly fishing bum Jake; stories of crazy, long summer days shuttling vehicles and exploratory carp fishing on Diablo SUP/kayak hybrids.

This is that guy. And that dog.

And you can read the story of how they met in the new issue of TFFJ.

I was able to reunite with this pair for a photo shoot in June, and am happy to confirm they’re just as remembered from last season. Part of the awesome, mis-matched family living on the banks of the might ‘Mo.

Pick up the latest issue of The Fly Fish Journal and give it a gander. (I have yet to find a copy here in Green Mountain country.)

Love FFJ. Looking forward to the new issue arriving in the post.

Closest place I could find a copy on Van Isle was in Nanaimo. A quick cost-accounting showed a two year subscription equated to what I’d spend in gas to go get a single issue 🙂

It’s a lovely mag… always a pleasure to work with those guys.

Yeah, about time to bulk up my subscriptions here. I’m learning I’m no longer in fly-fishing mecca where magazines magically appear. 🙂

Hope all is well with you, Mat!
