Regarding your trip to IL, I'll let you substitute one picture of you holding a bass caught by fly. I may even be willing to trade a trout picture. Me thinks Smarch is almost over.

With Dollar so close, I'm sure the three of us could get into trouble quite well. Just remember to bring your pipe, I'll have the homebrews, and Dollar will bring the tobacco (his own blend of course). You always have a place here in NC.

Hit the local ponds for panfish first. Then to Alabama for largemouth next week. It'll still be a while until the fly gear gets to make an appearance (unless I sneak of the SW Wisconsin) but, this year, it WILL come out. And that short list includes some Idaho small streams!

Last Thursday, I got to fish for several hours on the Kern. 2 1/2 - 3 lb rainbow on the very first cast. four or five more. Then continued on to pick up my daughter for her spring break. Came home, and have had a raging, screaming, straight-out-of-hell cold ever since. Neither good lookin' women nor trout catch my interest at the moment. Sleep, take meds, sleep, etc. That tells you how sick I am... Hopefully everything will get better soon, 'cause this sucks. Fish and fishing and beautiful streams are right around the corner, Rebecca. As usual, it’s all been said by the time I read your post.

Love this time of the year~ @ColoradoAngler ~ True story! Just last week the ice cream man came cruising through the neighborhood with Jingle Bells bellowing out his speaker. About that water.....so much water and by god I'm making the time =) @Ken Morrow ~ Someone once told me the winter was downtime so one could appreciate the 'good times' better. I think I disagree. Winter is a yearly torture session and I'm sure I could handle 12 months of comfortable outdoor time! The good news, we made it. Glad you got out! @Kirk ~ Cool. I'm putting the Yak on my go to list of rivers. I will also make sure and bring the pink kiddie rod (pole) for Derek. If he won't take the pink pole in exchange for a guided trip discount, at least I know he'd get a great tip from me in the form of 'gear'...and if you take one step into Idaho consider me inviting you, or I'm on the invite list to fish with ya~ @Nerveracker ~ Deal! Western Oregon. I even have an out of state fishing license for your state (Over a 100 bucks this year!) About those Steelhead. I'm on it. @Fishingpoet~ New York. I hadn't thought of fishing in that neck of the woods. The view from Idaho....Everything New York envokes visions of big lights, big city. If one day I make it out there we are going to swing lines. @Nimrod ~ Deal. The next time I'm fishing I will do it in your honor, promise. I hope life for you gets back on the track and soon. I've been a bit distracted lately myself. Hang in there and steal the needed time on the water when you can. @Ken ~ You are exactly right. Love this time of the year~

I am recovering from winter too, but unfortunately, there are other things holding me back from getting out as much as I'd like. I have some bigger "priorities" to tend to (for the time being) and then, when I feel a little more on track, I will be able to enjoy a little more fishing, I suppose... (insert image of a tear running down my cheek here). So, when you get out and enjoy some fishing, and maybe even when you are bringing a beautiful trout to your net, you can just think, "This one is for nimrod243!" If you could, I would really appreciate it, and maybe by that selfless act I can fish by proxy until I get my "priorities" straightened out. And then, of course, you could write about it here for me to read. Thanks, -nimrod243 I’m glad to hear (read) you are recovering.

I've made a commitment to being more deliberate about my time on the water too. If you want to try some water in the Finger Lakes region in upstate NY, we've got some great fishing. Enjoy your new comeraderie on the water! Cool. Matt Great post. I’ve made a commitment to being more deliberate about my time on the water too.

It's called Winter Steelhead fishing! Put that 4, 5 and 6 wt on mothballs, drag out the 7 and 8 wt and string em up around December 2010 and come fish winters with me to help kick those winter blues! Oh hell, who am I kidding! The summers are already showing up! In fact, I'm heading out this afternoon to see if I can scare up an early summer. Although I smell a skunking coming on. Any time you want to head into Western Oregon, you've got to let me know and we'll kick around in one of the few rivers here that I call home! It would be a blast! Oh! and I'd supply you with some of my hand tied flies. Umm, I've been told by several people that they're looking good, and I've actually sold a few (only because money was offered). The invitation has been extended once again. Dave Rebecca,

After spending 1995-2008 without an off-season, these past 2 winters have been HELL on me. I just got back from my first fishing trip of the season. It was cold and cloudy the whole time, and sometimes rainy. The day we left it even snowed. But I feel so much better already! I’m with you Rebecca.
