Tomorrow morning my quest continues.
I am attempting a McNab.
Those who don’t know what that is, per John Buchan’s book, it is the taking of an Atlantic salmon on the fly, a brace (two) of red grouse, and then finish it up by stalking and killing a Red stag. All to be done in one day.
A “Grand Macnab” includes the bedding of the cook after the initial event.
Weather looks promising. I am in shape. Let’s see if I can get the fish by 10.
Out there doing it best I can.

Good luck. Do you have a picture of the cook? Then, as now, he can have her. Best, Ted _______________________________________________________ I’m sure Lonny took a run at her, anyway, no doubt in the grip of whiskey vision.

Years ago, I asked a friend acquainted with a McNab what I should call my personal trio of 18 holes of golf, 100 clays and getting lucky with my wife. He said that would be a Unicorn
This ain't a dress rehearsal , Don't Let the Old Man IN

In Alaska the McNab is an Arctic Char, a brace of ptarmigan and a caribou. You too can do this north of the Brooks Range...

Wonder what it would be here in GA. Does it have to be three species, or could it be more?
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I've been thinkin' a woodie, a dove, and a deer. Wild quail thrown in would be over the top, eh?
