I'm Hank Patterson, world-renowned fly-fishing expert, outdoor guide, and host of this show, Hank Patterson's Outdoor Misadventures. And joining me today is

just talking to you, you guys, just you and me, just were in this together. All right, my best friends,

you guys, right? I don't have anybody probably. I wonder sometimes

if anybody claims me as their best friend. I think that you reach an age, right? Where maybe you

don't have a best friend, or maybe you do have it. Maybe some people have a best friend for their
