I've got the25th off, and could likely find some time that weekend as
well. I fish the C&R area in the Willi fairly often. Include me in, if
y'all get anything going. Only word of caution....we appear to still be
in full winter mode here, so the day may be better spent at the pizza
shop.

"I fish the C&R area in the Willi"? The images that almost brings to
mind....



But back to a more pertinent note. Seeing as its full-on winter still in the
NorthEast, what's the odds that it will be open water in 4 weeks? I know
that in a usual mid-Maine winter, we don't usually count on spring thaw
until early April, but I don't know about Connecticut winters, and I have no
instinct at all about this particular winter.

If Ye Old Farmer's Almanac and local wisdom say that its probably still
going to be a deep freeze by then, I might make better use of my limited
time to get my business done in Maine, and drive down to the DC area to
visit my Dear Ol' Mom, and leave a few days open to fish with the more
southernly boys. Not to insult my Yankee bretheren, but if the water ain't
open, it might might be hard fishing, and I only have a limited time.

Any guesses at what the situation will be there in mid March?
