The Adventures of Bob White

“It all comes around on the river,” he once told me. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. When you lose… you can usually get even.”

It was my first summer in Alaska, and I was learning the ropes from an old guide, named Rusty.

I looked painfully at my Grandfather, who winked and bumped over his glass of wine.

I stood next to the truck, and stared at the rolling hills of wheat stubble.

It looked like an old rod tube, and I thought, perhaps I’d found a vintage bamboo fly rod. Instead, I had found the map.

In October of 2015, I was asked by the BBC to help them film a documentary about who I am;…

“You know how to fly this thing?” The Boss yelled over the engine noise.

Oh shit, I thought, when I heard my father in the hallway, I’m in trouble now!

I know these two old guys.

I’ve always been fascinated with waterfowl from the arctic and sub-arctic regions, particularly sea ducks.

I’ve decided that the real heroes in life are rarely the obvious ones.
