    Amazing writing/story telling Andy. Fly fishing does take your breath away, and is the best way to connect with nature/God/creator. Cheers to many more years for you!

    Wow Andy what a marvelous video. I too started my journey as a kid on Penns Creek, our stories are similar I go every year and have countless memories of days with my mentors and now I spend time with my son.I recognized so many sections on Penns, we even caught trout in the same holes I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths. I too have had a life long passion with fish Penns Creek. Thank you for the wonderful production, you truly have a gift. I was truly at the end, thinking of days gone past with dad and uncle fishing those same pockets. You have a gift Andy👏🐟 .
  • Excellent ending to this video, words of wisdom that soothed my soul I felt the love and reverence on your voice which will forever bless my future outings. Much love brother.
  • Great share, Andy. You are very fortunate to have spent so much time in such a special place. Lot's of reasons to love it there. Here's to more!
