Rory Paterson and Angus Walton, both of Scotland, fish Russia’s Purnache River.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted on here; my apologies.
It’s been a hell of a two weeks.
Starting with a very busy and extremely productive run in Ryabaga, playing through what’s ended up being a pretty impressive strain of some kind of flu, and ending with a very much unexpected trip back to the States – very much not my decision, but that’s a story for another day.
Very long story short I am back in the States – Seattle area for the moment – and working on sorting several projects here. I very much hate to leave Ryabaga and Russia – it’s become home and the staff there have become family – but sometimes these things are not under one’s control.
As a friend wisely once said, it is what it is.
So for the moment I am working on a photo project for a fly shop here in Washington and actively seeking new opportunities overseas. We’ll see what comes around the bend.

I’m so sorry to hear you are gone from Ryabaga. You were a bright spot in the camp and certainly in the management. Hopefully I will see back in the future – you fit in awfully well.
Take care, be safe, and best of luck in your new endeavors, wherever they may take you.
Thank you. I’m hoping someday I’ll make it back to Ryabaga. It’s a special place with some incredible people.

Thanks, Delta Weasel. Gotta believe right will prevail.
