I learned of the term “Walkabout's” from Jimmy Buffets first book “Tales of Margaritaville.” Tully Mars and his ensuing Walkabout played a major role in Jimmy's first book as a wandering soul escaping from the absurdity of ranch life that had gone mad. Later I learned of the Australian origins of the term Walkabout. Since then I've always felt that Walkabout's fit nicely into the world of fly fishing and our journey in life chasing fish across our planet with a wisp of feather and tread.

Couldn't think of better Holiday gift. As the Coalition proclaims in their press release; “Coalbed methane development to be permanently banned from headwaters of major salmon rivers VANCOUVER - The B.C. government announced today that Shell would be withdrawing its plans to develop coalbed methane in the Klappan-Groundhog tenure area in northwest British Columbia. The government will also not issue oil and gas tenures in the area in the future”. Read more....http://skeenawatershed.com/news/article/historic_protection_for_bcs_sacred_headwaters_announced.
