"Older Fishing" IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE that more than five years have passed since poet and novelist Jim Harrison died. But then one of the gifts of phenomenal writers is that they leave us with work that stays valuable far past their lifetimes. With Harrison, who loaned both weight and levity to fly fishing, that is certainly the case. Even his short pieces like "Older Fishing," which we are happy to call attention to again this week, are proof. The Turbo Beetle, says Tim Flagler, is "kind of a souped-up version of my regular beetle pattern. It works especially well in late summer and early fall, and can be used for bass and panfish as well as trout." Learn how to tie it by watching the video. COMPLEAT ANGLER AUGUST GEAR GIVEAWAY!
