Surfing, Fishing, and Other Watery Stuff

Chester Allen, whose Olympian fly fishing columns are a constant source of interest for us, just launched a new blog on “fishing, surfing and exploring the watery outdoors.” His Watery Planet (watermagic.typepad.com) gives Allen more journalistic freedom, and we like the result. We spoke last night and I listened to how, on a recent trip to Mexico, he paddled his surf board out beyond the breakers and did what comes naturally to fly fishing surfers: casting and reeling in fish.
