Thomas McGuane Fly Rod & Reel 's "Angler of the Year"

Nick Lyons says of Thomas McGuane in the tribute that accompanies this year’s announcement, “He is Fly Rod & Reel‘s Angler of the Year and my Angler for the Last Hundred Years.” And “it is the uncanny way he has of linking angling to our larger existence, in a thousand memorable instances, that stuns us most.”
Tom, who is one of MidCurrent‘s original editorial board members, turns 70 in December. Happy early Birthday, Tom.
