This Month’s Issue: Gone Fishin’
It’s summertime, and the fish are biting. Whether you take to the seas or prefer the quiet of a river, lake or pond, North Carolina is teeming with fishing spots. Deep sea sportfishing, bass fishing, fly casting — we touch on a little bit of everything in this issue. Also, North Carolina’s electric cooperatives have recently started managing resources on the power grid in a new way.
