Talk about cabin fever, Happy holliday!
Hi all,
Just thought I'd give you a hint on what it is like where I live, at this time of year. =) The sun rises at about 10 am and sets at 1 pm which in theory gives us three hours of daylight. This is theory mind you, since one hour of those three hours is dusk it doesn't leave all that much daylight. I'm just happy that I don't live in Kiruna, Sweden, about 450 kilometers to the north. That would have meant zero hours of daylight for about 40 days in a row (they actually built the town north of a big mountain, duh). I really long for those endless summer nights, although they seem to be very distant. The weather service just promised us temperatures around -4 degrees Fahrenheit from tomorrow until Christmas eve where the prediction ended. We have very little snow for the time being, which actually will add to the problem with deep frost. The worst that can happen is that the water pipe down to the stable freezes, it is only 4 feet down......... I strongly believe that we will end up with the normal 3 to 4 feet of snow though, before the winter is over I will most certainly have moved my share of snow. The winter solstice is only 2 days away and then we slowly move towards brighter days. I will take the opportunity to wish you all a Happy Solstice, a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. Not that I won't be posting the next few days but still. For the clavers I can tell that the mountain region is getting a fair amount of snow, which is good for us. Anyhow, anyone doing any fishing or are you all fighting cabin fever?

On the solstice the sun will rise at 7:11 a.m. and set at 4:30 p.m. Today is partly sunny, 27°F as I type, and we have just enough snow on the ground to change the morning run into the morning ski. Kipper the hound much prefers skiing because he's on a skijoring belt which is way more fun than his short running leash. The little pond that just a few weeks ago provided some welcome casting is now completely frozen over. The kiddies will be finished with their finals tomorrow and will disappear for a month back to Chicago from whence they came. It is SO nice around here when they're gone. Too bad we can't have a University here without a whole bunch of bothersome students. They're a bloody nuisance. ;-) This weekend we will bring a dead pine tree into the house and hang a lot of sentiment on it. I need to pick out something appropriate to commemorate my dad's passing and we'll inaugurate one or two more 2003 specific baubles on the tree. (We're getting to that age where we have to record them so we don't forget which year they represent. ;-) Looking forward to cooking a feast on the 25th and we'll go to the city for NYE to catch String Cheese Incident and drink too much. Happy Holidays !! -- Ken Fortenberry |

As in Chambana, the students have fled this particular quadrant of Cleveland for the balance of the calendar year and a peculiar silence has fallen over the bustling paths of academe. We're a tad further north than central Illinois, lying at 41 degrees, 30 minutes, 9 seconds north. So not a whole lot of "sunshine" just now, but a good sight more than in Sverige. Our ground has been covered with snow for the past several days. For those that live to the east of the city, the covering has become a nice thick blanket of more than 12". Time to swap casting for kick and glide. Or, for those of us with young ones, a swift sled ride down the neighborhood hill. I haven't cast a fly in over a month, and it's likely I won't until March or April. Time has come to do other things. Though for me, I'm not far from fishing during these cold months, as a pile of books and a tying vise is never far from hand. Certainly memories of trips of the past year are quite fresh. Armchair travel dreams of Montana, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Sweden will doubtless occupy a fair amount of time. The other day I found myself thinking about the past year on ROFF, about its peculiar denizens, those I've met in person, those I haven't. How I'd hoped to fish with the Westerners in the west but didn't. How Wolfgang and I have yet to share the Ontonagan, something we've talked about nigh on two or three seasons now. About Penns, both '03 and '04. As bad habits go, I think I'll keep this one. Happy Solstice to all- Bill |

snip Anyhow, anyone doing any fishing or are you all fighting cabin fever? (Rephrased question: How are things where you live?) Beautiful sunny day here in New England. I had the opportunity to do Jeff Millier a favor/chore, and it gave me a chance to stretch the legs of my new Audi RS6 over some "hilly" roads around The Quabbin. Then north to Sunderland and visit my parents grave site. Traveling home on a different route, I passed the spot where I hit a big deer one night several years ago. Ouch! With Jo in Roanoke for a nephew's wedding, and my oldest grandson out with his girlfriend just home from college, I will have to eat with Henry. Nothing wrong with that, however.

Anyhow, anyone doing any fishing or are you all fighting cabin fever? (Rephrased question: How are things where you live?) Been getting out ... have been through a longish warm spell with odd days getting into the 30+ degrees C and the humidity has been an absolute bugger (but good for minimising fire risks). The fishing is patchy but will pick up in all likelihood - the smaller terrestrials (hoppers and beetles) haven't really taken off yet despite a bumper year for the cicadas. A recent American visitor described them as sounding like a chainsaw with a crook bearing. Its a little strange seeing people wander about campus protecting their ears from the racket the big 2 inch jobs (greengrocers) make. While the ones up the scrub tend to be smaller, up to an inch or so, and more to a fishes liking. The seasons festivities tend to take time now and the weather is becoming changeable (electrical storms, rain on the horizon) so actual fishing is going to be 3 hour sessions nabbed here and there between gatherings and preparing for the Tassie trip. (BTW: there are a few postcard type shots at of last years trip at http://www.flyflickers.com/ff/articl...tassiepict.htm ) A caddis pupa pattern has been working pretty well on the rivers,I hope it travels well to Tassie and the inflowing streams on some of the lakes we'll be hitting. So what am I doing here on a weekend ... well it is gloomy, and raining right through the areas I would fish so I'm building up brownie points with myself for next week ... perhaps an afternoon off work. I eagerly await the arrival of a double hander from Wales and had an early present arrive when some tying stuff I ordered through a friend arrived from Dan Baileys. At last some 'flat' thread, I haven't been able to get any here for years and this Gudebrod stuff appears to be just the ticket. Anyway ... back to the grimstone. Steve |

Sixty clicks due South of Hamburg, on the edge of the Lueneburger Heide ( Heide = Moor). 5°C, no wind. Weather has been very odd recently with a few warm sunny spells punctuated by very cold spells. We were down to -11°C one night last week. One very light snowfall up to now, which disappeared quite quickly. We also had some very powerful wind storms which felled quite a few trees, and caused various other damage. Caught a bad cold while doing some small repairs to the roof, so have not even been out of the house much for a few days. Once I get rid of the cold, I may have a run up to the Baltic after cod, or with luck, maybe even a seatrout. Have to get Christmas over first. TL MC |

"Roger Ohlund" wrote in message ... Anyhow, anyone doing any fishing or are you all fighting cabin fever? (Rephrased question: How are things where you live?) Hey Roger, et al: Here in Kinshasa (3 degrees S), today is just like almost every other day in the year. The sun rose at precisely 6AM, the red-glow 'sunrise' lasted about 1 minute and then the heat came on. By 9AM, it was 70 degrees out, and the day promises to peak out at around 85, with clear skies and low humidity. Its officially the rainy season (the Short Rains) which means about every third afternoon we get these torrential downpours and ripping lighting storms, which keep the dust and the temperatures down, but make it important not to be out in the dirt road section of town in the afternoon. Tomorrow, I'm headed out to a local tilapia pond to try to catch some fish. I'm changing lines from my Scientific Anglers 5WF to a Rio 5WF I have on another reel, to see if the softer Rio line turns over better: the memory in the SA is just getting too hard to work with. I'll be out fishing by noon, since at precisely 6PM, the sun plummets below the horizon once again, just like every other day in the year, and if there are afternoon rains I might find myself stranded in a mud forest until dawn. Anyway, happy Christmas everyone. --riverman |

I think its a familial culture thing. Some people grew up with pines, many of them flocked with this stuff that looked like dried mold, some with fir and some spruce. Our family usually tilted towards balsam fir. Mostly because thats what grew in the woodlots around our farms. My grandfather had the talent of cutting the scraggliest balsam that grew in the swamps and then attempting to wire a branch or two into one of the bigger gaps. In doing this he would work up a powerful thirst and then wander up to the Wagon Wheel bar to alleviate it. Ah, the holiday memories... g.c. |

Well, I gotta say that Congo isn't really the hellhole that people have the image of. I guess I might be suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome a bit, but just yesterday I was walking downtown, window shopping with SWMBO (looking at shoes...) and thinking that it was starting to look like a rather normal town. We stopped in at a Chinese restuarant and the manager knew us, so we got a great lunch for half-price, then went to a bakery and got fresh-baked rolls and bread. Stopped at a confectionary on the way home and got some fresh baked sweets. When I got home, I had an email waiting from the British Consul and her husband (the Senator to the national government, from Eastern Congo) inviting SWMBO and me to spend a week at their luxury home in Goma next week, and promising to arrange an overnight hike up to the top of the volcano, a gorilla walk, and I can join a medical team for a 2-day trip into the jungle to check on some remote villages. All in all, there IS stuff to do, and being white and connected to the school (SWMBO is the #2), doors get opened for us all the time. So its not ALL that bad. Of course, there is the other stuff, but its not all other stuff. obroff: do the tilapia fight as good as they taste? if so, you're gonna need a marlin rig. NO, damn it all!!
