Should of gone out last week while it was still hitting the mid 60's on the thermometer. Now it is supposed to get down to the 20's tonight . This afternoon I took all my rods and waders and other gear out of the trout wagon.. It is time to start doing the shows, time to tie flies: to watch others fish on my videos and DVDs.
I had left it all in the SUV all through October and into November in hope I could get in another day or two..
Trout are my only quarry. I do not like to fish in the cold... But today was the day. The day it went back down to the fishing room. The fishing room where it will stay till Spring. A melencholly three step process: from the vehicle, to the garage, to the fishing room. All of it. It is done!

How about you? You Southern and warm climate guys I would expect to continue on, but what about the rest of you?
