 In addition to raising a variety of farmyard animals, they share a passion for fly fishing, which is often an impetus of their travel destinations. 

This has given them a chance to fish in some of the most beautiful places on earth, from the local brooks of Vermont to the awe inspiring rivers of Alaska and New Zealand.
