But there are a number of ways to get around in the snow, though some of them are unorthodox. Snow shoes: These surface area enhancers can keep a person walking on top […]
Why I Want You to Prepare for the Worst
One of the best parts about a New England Winter is that Spring is right around the corner. To help soothe my cabin fever, I visited my favorite fishing site and magazine, On The Water, to see what’s biting. “Captain Frank, of The Frances Fleet in Narragansett, is looking forward to the calm “after” the storm, as […]
