2-12-2022 North Country Angling-golden shiner

The impetus to create a new golden shiner fly pattern. (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

Sitting at the fly-tying table at North Country Angler one afternoon tying some Trueblood Marabou streamers, the cellphone pinged. A quick glance at the screen showed just a phone number and not a name. This is a regular occurrence as anglers often text looking for information.

The text message was the picture of a beautiful 4-plus pound brook trout. Not what usually gets texted. My curiosity piqued, I texted back, “Nice fish!”
