"Somewhere in the middle of the afternoon, as the breeze rises off the river, he lifts his canoe onto the pickup and drives it into the woods, where he hauls it down the riverbank and, in his own unorthodox technique, paddles out onto the Penobscot, standing up. No small athletic feat in a canoe." That's Tony Chamberlain writing about Maine fly fishing and hunting guide Wiggie Robinson, who just happens to be 84 years old. In the Boston Globe.
