My feature about baseball legend, Ted Williams, Angler: Islamorada's Lost Legacy begins: " Baseball and fishing are not uncommon bedfellows. In our family, they developed into our two sons’ varsity journey and an obsession with fly-fishing. And not coincidentally, they again converged during a stay in the Florida Keys. Which was how I came to be standing on the casting platform of a skiff somewhere in the backcountry out of Islamorada". A two month stay in the Florida Keys allowed me the time to research and connect with the special players who make a piece of history come alive. It also allowed me the opportunity to fish with the legendary hall of fame angler, Stu Apte.
