Anglers Tonic Refresh

New and improved. Image: www.anglerstonic.com

Speaking of old…way back in 2009 we told you about Angler’s Tonic, the web site and blog by our friend Greg Thomas.

Just last week Greg pulled the trigger on a major red0 of the site, and we think you should swing by and check it out.  It’s much easier to navigate, it’s loaded with original content, and the new format is allowing him to post daily.

Greg is a legitimately great writer (as well as being the editor of Fly Rod and Reel).  Your time on Angler’s Tonic will be well spent.
