Cabin fever anyone?

Still no available news server from my ISP, it stopped working about
three months ago and never came back online again. No warning
whatsoever from the ISP.
Anyway, I get to read the occasional TR on ROFF but have noticed that
things are slowing down.

Here sunrise is at 9.30 am and sunset at 1.30 pm and still two
weeks until it starts to get brighter again. We will loose about
another hour of daylight in the two weeks to come. About minus 15
degrees Celsius (5 degrees Farenheit) but not much snow.

Long since I could do any fishing but hopefully everything turns out
in a way that I can go to Penns next year too, new job and all.

Done a lot of hunting this autumn (mostly Capercaillie, Black grouse
and Hazelhen) which helps keeping the cabin fever away. Even my kids
have started to complain that it's always dark outside, and there I
was thinking that they hadn't noticed from all the computer gaming
that they are up to.

So, anyone still fishing? Or have you had to give up on this season?

No fishing here. Maybe in San Diego next month. The pup and I are
headed to the farm in Kentucky in the am to do a little grouse hunting
and pick of two venison hams I had "country cured" during deer season.

Yup, got out 8 or 9 times over the last few weeks, caught some steelies
on swung spey flies. No snow yet except for one sprinkle that didn't
last 24 hrs. Lots of rain so rivers are up and blown but heavy tips
and big, weighted flies can cut through the murk and hoist up the odd
fish. May get out again this Sunday if Suzie doesn't collar me for
honeydos.
Sounds like you've been stocking up on the tying materials.

Fished (unsuccessfully) last weekend. Still a migratory fish here and
there in the Great Lakes Tribs. This is just past the time of year for the
big fish. Those who don't like fishing around this time are missing big
fun

I have difficullty imagining such ultra short days ...
ours run 5:51 am - 8:36 at the moment ... even during the dead of
winter its 7:30 till 5:00 or so.

No way! ;-)
We've had rain and largely cool weather. I reckon we're running a couple
of weeks behind in the mountain streams. Some rivers have shifted a lot
of gravel so hatches in those areas are not up to usual standards. When
things do come together though its been pretty good.

From the land downunder,

in spite of my heavy school load, i am still managing to get some fishing in
on the week-ends, and occasionally a day here and there during the week.
i've been doing a good amount of fishing off the mountain lately, in
addition to visiting my favorite stream here close to home. the last trout
i caught was a brookie- about 7 1/2 inches and that was up here on the
mountain in october. i've been catching crappie, bluegill sunfish and perch
lately -off the mountain

i'm gonna keep fishing until my hands or feet just can't take it- or the
water on my line freezes- whichever comes first ;-)

thanks wolfie-
when i saw you in robbinsville you said that i needed to fail a class just
once, and i would stop being so obsessed with my grades. well, i figured
this math class would be that first failed class and although i'm sure you
were sincere in your advice, i hope to graduate without a single F- there's
still time though, i still have 3 more semesters of spanish :-(
