“We can use only barbless hooks, and we are taking 800 flies, everything from little dry flies to 8- to 12-inch flies.

There are no Wal-Marts over there to run buy something you need.” That’s angler Tom Poe talking about preparations for his trip to the Zhuponova River on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula in the Arkansas News.
