We are wrapping up, Fish Wrap style, another amazing year on the water and in the woods. We caught plenty of fish, learned about climate change (yes, it’s real) and lost a few favorite folks. Read it all in our Favorite Fish Wrap 2022 moments II and thanks, as always, for reading Fish Wrap. Happy Holidays.
For the next two weeks, we’ll revisit some of our favorites 2022 Fish Wrap memories, full of characters, beaches, boats and even icebergs. Despite lots of obstacles, it was a pretty fine year. Join us, subscribe to our newsletter, like and share us and all that and please, enjoy the people we meet.
