**Thanks for the kindly comments.
I too am a MacManus fan. With a name like Patrick, he can’t be all bad. I have enjoyed many a chortle and guffaw while reading his stuff.
I have written lotsa verse and short stories…much of it related to fishing. Some has been published, but only in small organizational or intercompany things. I have written for a couple of newspaper outdoor sections and a couple of outdoor magazines.
Here are a couple of pieces from my past…not edited in recent years.

Hey Pat that’s good stuff, I too fell in love with fishing over hoppers in the Logan River under the bridge by the water lab… Total blast every boy should be able to have the same experience… Well written piece, thanks for sharing it… J
**Yeah (sniff, sniff). That was from a time long ago, when there were no cell-phones, Facebook, internet, cable TV and other modern technologies that lure kids into things besides fishing and other outdoor enjoyments.
For a lot of us older folks it is interesting to speculate on how different our lives might have been today if we had the same “blessings” when we were younger.
Thanks for your kindly review.
