Tuesday

silence of winter

Everything becomes silent in the winter. Even a loud sound fades away faster in winter. Eventually the silence will become very loud, then spring will come.

    It is hard to believe it is that winter already. Nice catch!

    It's the kind of cold where you can't take off your boots because the laces are all frozen up. And you become 6 inches taller by the ice platform that builds up on the bottom of your boots. they become Masahi walking shoes.

    I know, I'm just trying to wear it out so I can get a new one. I have to admit, when I use my rubber soled Simms, I miss my felt, especially when I find myself in the horizontal position in the creek.

    Make sure to put your boot inside of house when it is cold, last time I was out sleeping at the pension near creek and forgot to bring my wet-boot inside the night before. Next morning, I couldn't fish for while untile that boot thaws out.

    BTW mrlee - what is this awsome nymphing rod that ksanchun said you have? He said it's from Orvis and that I should pick one up asap. Which model was it?

    @GF-

    This was ultimate gift to myself. Helios 10ft.4wt. It fishes more like a five. I used this rod in all those pics from the Missouri and the San Juan. You don't have to spend that for a nymph stick tho. They are releasing the Access rod in same length and much cheaper. i don't know how it casts. The guys up at on the creek had the Cortland 10' 3 wt. which is even cheaper yet. I tried it out at the creek in front of the shop and liked it for very light nymphing. I like allot of split shot so a little heavier is better for me. I saw the sage 9'9" 4wt in the Rainbow shop. I would be interested in trying it out.
    These rods would also be good for bellyboat fishing with the extra length helping to keep the backcast off the water.
