Fishing rags for steelhead has actually been around longer then I have been fishing. A few guys have told me they were fishing rags back in the 1960’s.

Duck in Bourbon Cream Sauce

December 2, 2012

I’m always surprised at how many people grumble about the edibility of ducks and geese. Sure they’re not a ribeye steak, but given the right recipe they can be delicious.
