There's a story about me and a porn nickname.

I remember Kristen McQuiery was editing a column I wrote about it years ago at the paper.

legendary fishing guide, legendary tire of flies and his book, The View from the Middle Seat.

Lessons learned from a lifetime of guiding.

Chef Carlin is here, executive producer at WGN Radio, Mr. Science.

And I'm here, John Cas, husband and father, columnist at johncasnews.com.

And where are you when you should be fishing, when you should be out there learning about fly fishing?

The man who knows how I got the nickname.
