This week’s edition of the Sunday Morning Riffles is what I’ll call “fun sized”. Yes, that’s a polite way to say it’s smaller than usual. See, Saturday night’s post deadline just crept up on me this week and I hadn’t curated a ton of novel content to include over the course of the prior week.
That said, it shouldn’t diminish what’s included in today’s post, as it’s video heavy and they’re all good. And of course, don’t forget the weekly summary from the pages of Tenkara Angler at the very end. In my opinion it was a stronger week than usual. Enjoy!
