Mastering any craft takes blood, sweat and care. And if that craft involves eliciting opportunity from a global arena of fishy possibility, one’s edge of awareness becomes expansive. Rather than getting lost in the frenetic moments, angler-adventurer Oliver White has kept his head in the game by focusing on the elements we can control and embracing the unforeseen. The RIO squad recently travelled to the Abaco Islands to catch up with Oliver, where we talked tapers, stalked bones, quaffed rum and dug deeper into the philosophies and thought-processes that make him tick. This is that story. Welcome to the RIO family, Oliver White.
