Keep it going.<br /><br />Mike, Howard, Richard, I forget what real winter does to a fisherman. Here in the south there's always somewhere to fish and knocking the rust off is not usually necessary. But I understand, and sympathize.<br /><br />Ken, your response hits closest to home. My days of moving upstream are getting shorter and I must get that fixed in my head. The tone of my post shows that I have a long way to go. Getting old is a contact sport and I've avoided playing as long as I can. But the game calls.<br /><br />You are very wise men, all.

Like you I will fish for the stocked stuff if I have to, but how sweet it is to cradle a beautiful wild brown trout. Yeah...I would hop, fall, sweat, curse and try to fish my way up.
