Believe it or not, this morning was the first one I've spent in a
trout stream with a trout rod in 2004. Pretty sad . .

It's our daughter's birthday so the gand was arrving after lunch which
gave me a few hours. Thanks to all the rain, the creek was very high
and dirty. . . didn't matter, I had a go anyway but the lack of
results were predictable.

Still, I did get out.

BTW, I started off the season right with a 1/4 Reid. The high water
had scoured things a bit and I hadn't noticed, stepped off the bank
into almost crotch deep water with one foot, while the other remained
a foot up on the bank -- almost kept my balance. Wet the left forearm
and shipped a little bit over the waders. Groin muscles remained
intact, though I don't know how.

Although it's always good to get out, that's kinda sad.


Come on out to Montana. The Madison's a good streamer river.

No, the Rapid is out for me this June. I do have one trip planned to
the Cape but that's it for the year. Last year, by this time I had
done NC, PA, MI, with Byng Inlet and the Rapid on the horizon.

It's gonna be a lean year.
