3 months away, at least, from fishing
Snow and rain - rain and snow

Gotta play and listen to --- more music and watch more movies

What do most of you guys do in the off fishing seasons?

I spend the winter holidays, starting in early November, in the SF Bay
Area, fixing up the house, gardening, reading, going to the gym, hanging
out with my family, and eating too much.

In the New Year I go to Stanley, Idaho, where I mostly ski (XC skating,
downhill in Sun Valley, and not much backcountry skiing because I'm
terrified of avalanches), play a little hockey, tie a few flies, shovel
a lot of snow, lose weight, burn a lot of wood, drink too much, watch
tennis and politics on the TV, and make plans for the summer.

Then back to the Bay Area, usually in May, until the Northern Rockies
fishing kicks off after runoff. This May, however, I'm planning to fish
the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Nevada with an old ROFFer.

I'm leaving for Idaho tomorrow morning.
