    Woke up Sunday morning to 6-8" of new snow and 30 mph winds. Now, I know you can fish in those conditions, but I ain't gonna...

    The problem lies with those who think of "spring" as a season. Wht it is, is a device, usually of metal, in the form of either a leaf, as in a leaf spring which is a flat piece of metal bent into a V or W shape, not a leaf on a tree, or a coil. Used to either return something to a position or retract it from a position. Often used in fly reels in one form or another.

    Spring as a season has been highly overrated in 2013.

    John, I dislike cold weather about as much as anyone I know, but to land 22 of those beautiful trout I would dig out my woolies and be on the river beside you, or a close as good manners permit. Besides, I heard it's a dry cold.

    This is how "Spring" is viewed by a dear friend of mine.

    This is Kansas. Spring will be held between 2pm and 4pm on an otherwise unannounced Tuesday afternoon all else will be a mixture of winter and summer until the temperature reaches 90+ degrees, where it will remain or increase until a point between 2pm and 4pm one day in October (that two hour period is known as "autumn") when the whole thing will repeat itself going the other direction.

    Got this pic from some friends back in N VA



    can't say I'm too sorry to miss the chaos something like this causes in the DC metro area.
