2014 was a very full year and I have much more planned for 2015. These photos are just a few snapshots from a very full year from the Nicholas family.
I am full of hope for the future. May you also have great plans for adventure and joy in the coming year; I look forward to posting another year-end review twelve months from now.
Thanks to Chris Daughters, Bryson, Ty, Clay, Andrew, Lou, and Peter of the Caddis Fly Shop staff; and the many fine people I’ve had the good fortune to correspond with and share river-time with this last year.
