Knockin’ on the Door

The goal was to share the passion for fly fishing with the next generation of anglers out there. The WorldANGLING Facebook photo contest winner for 2013 was Will Griffiths, a shop rat from the Pacific northwest.  He had never thrown a 1o weight in salt before stepping on the bow of my skiff.  One thing was made very apparent in the 3 days that we had together on the flats…
