NO SNOOZE BUTTONS
Landing a permit is always a moment to remember and in many ways a harbinger of mood for the remainder of a trip. Allan Pogue and Archie Morris frame a prime example of the species just before tailing it for angler John Coward (not pictured) at Faraway Cay, Honduras. Photo: Nick Price

“Ronan Creane is one of my oldest fishing buddies and one of the most talented anglers I know. He grew up in it—his father is a well-known and well-respected angler in his homeland of Ireland. I once heard someone say of Ronan that he ‘didn’t lick it off of a stone,’ which I thought was both funny and true. It’s not all been gifted though. Ronan is as intuitive as fishermen come and can hold his own on any South Island, New Zealand, trout stream, but put him on a still water and he’ll quickly separate himself from the rest.” Photo: Jeff Forsee
