A couple of weeks ago on October 21, 2015, it was Back to the Future day, otherwise known as the day Marty McFly arrived in the future in the 1989 movie Back to the Future II.

I’m most certainly still stretching the truth, but this is a fisherman you're talking to, so that's to be expected.
Sight fishing for redfish on the fly is a huge thrill!
But what about those days when the water is stained, the clouds are out, the wind is up, or the fish are in deeper water?
