I stole away from work today for a few hours of fishing at the top secret

A good read. I imagine the lower Swift water temp is still in the forties?

I didn't have a thermometer with me, but it seemed warmer than that - maybe low
50's. George might have the answer. I hope you're right, 'cause that would
explain the "missing" fish. I'd prefer that explanation to the possibility we're
dealing with a poaching problem again. Last year, there were reports of poachers
with nets coming out in the wee hours to clean out the stockies and sell them to
some kind of underground fish market. It could be true, or it could be the most
elaborate story ever concocted by fishermen for not catching any fish. It kinda
sounds like some kind of "underpants gnomes" hoax, eh?

Would have loved to have crossed paths with you today

The offer's still good for you to get yer ass out here, but now I'm the one with
the bad back you're doing fine. Go figure. You should come out in a few weeks
when we start really getting into the smallies and bluegill and make a day of
it.

but got rung up by Ma
this afternoon to go over to Bedford to fix a broken flush valve, fix a broken
tv/vcr antenna hookup, and chainsaw up some winter deadfall she'd dragged out
of the woods ("we can't be having dead limbs in the woods, can we?" yeah, ok
Ma)...

Look at it this way: I'll soon forget you didn't make a visit, but Ma wouldn't
let you forget for years. Wise choice.
