Cold Water Scuba Diving
My name is Mike Ault and I am a cold-water diver, you would be amazed at the number of people who think this is the height of stupidity (cold water diving, not being Mike Ault, though there are some…) however, let me elucidate the joys of cold water diving to help prevent calls for the fellows with the white coats, at least for diving.

Aunt Annie
My wife had a relative, how the bloodlines come between them I haven't unraveled, but the relationship is there. Aunt Annie was what she was called.

Trout Fishing the Hooch
The Chattahoochee River, or the Hooch as it is called locally, winds through Georgia helping to form Lake Lanier and passing by several of Georgia’s major cities such as Atlanta. In many places the native trout population is all but non-existent and if it wasn’t for frequent stocking of trout, I venture a guess that there would be few for local fly fishermen to enjoy.
