So many big stories coming from ICast 2014 not the least of which is the introduction of the Hobie PA17 and the Best Of Show Winner, the Old Town Predator XL. These are great achievements in the kayak-angling world, indeed. But there were so many other products and stories developing at ICast that should interest anglers from every corner.

This morning after a lovely but rather unproductive trip with two clients, I had the unique opportunity to have an extended conversation with a commercial trout fisherman at the boat ramp.
