When my editor suggested that I contribute an article on Seattle’s Pike Place Market I thought to myself, “Hey, great subject.” Seattle’s only a quick train trip from my home-base in Portland; I can visit my son Anthony (who has a medical practice there), and I love taking Amtrak just about anywhere that the tracks will lead me.

- The Art of Fly Fishing: Georg Miciu Nicolaevici
Opening Spread from The Contemporary Sportsman Vol. 1 No. 1
On a recent fly fishing jaunt through Patagonia, we had the good fortune to overnight in San Martin de los Andes, where we stayed at the Hotel La Cheminée. Almost immediately, as we entered the lobby, we were overwhelmed by the charm and ambiance of the hotel, especially the artwork that lined the walls of the restaurant and bar. In fact, several of us delayed checking in and gathered around one painting in particular. It was a small, 13″ by 24″ oil painting, depicting a fly fisherman waist deep in a river. He is apparently struggling to stay upright while fighting an obviously enormous fish.
