But this is not a story about them. This one is about that old coot. The character that has forgot way more than it feels like we will ever learn. Although, most times it seems that he has actually forgotten very little. That guy who has the knowledge beyond our comprehension, that takes seventy something years to acquire. If you’re lucky, and hopefully worthy, you find your under the wing of that deep-rooted guy. Please allow me to introduce you to my and many others hero: RON WALP.
On the Deschutes River in North Central Oregon, Ron is a legend. From his love of upland birds, running the river in his jet sled, blue grass music, spey casting, swinging flies, mule deer hunts, baseball, conservation, teaching, big horn sheep, whisky, friends, stargazing, and women; Ron is as knowledgeable as any of us can aspire to be.
