Blake and Eric had a surprised look on their face as they gathered their gear and watched me make a v-line for the creek. A small stream of water that you can step over suddenly turns into a pool of water with the help of a beaver damn.

New Year. New Decade. New You…right? The excitement of 2020 has passed and if you are like a lot of Americans you are still scratching your head trying to figure out how to make this your best year yet. I strive to become a better outdoorsman and enhance the time I spend in the wild every year. The challenge with this aspiration is it can be hard to define and measure.

His two granddaughters followed carrying a cooler full of white bass and wipers.
