These past few months working for Don have been full of opportunities to learn all sorts of things, from the details of running a small business to how the 
legislative process works. The most fun lesson by far, though, has been learning how to fly fish.
We are lucky to have two species of perch. The yellow variety loves shallow warm water and is a staple of my kid fishing trips. They respond well to a worm and a bobber, travel in pretty large schools and can be caught in numbers if you are in the right place. They are well known across a large part of the country and are a prized catch in some places. White perch are not as widely distributed around the country but are certainly on the east coast and sometimes live in brackish water.
Summer is in full swing this week with great weather in the forecast, a nearly full calendar and lots of different activities. I will be striper fishing , hiking and a group will learn to fly fish with me one afternoon.
