Good narrative, funny and interesting history

SGH did a great job of explaining the history behind fly fishing and the Catskills traditions of outdoor activities. It reminded me that New York and really the entire northeast US was a very wild place and once you leave the population centers there are still excellent sporting opportunities. Although it was centered in that geographical area, his narrative had wonderful depth on subjects like fly tying. It was relaxing to listen to as well. It was not a grand adventure but to me spoke of a poignant moment of our history and some memories of the challenges we faced during WW2, like the difficulties of obtaining waders and fuel.
