how are you planning on spending it? What flies are you tying? For what species? Are you spinning a new rod? If so, what weight and why? It's now time to get my three weight done, as well as the rod for my wife, a replacement five weight. Both Hook and Hackle specials! Also will be building a couple spinning rods for a river-group silent auction. For flies, my goal for the winter is to master some new foam flies and to tie a zoo couger. Got one in a swap but was too cool to use. And, after all these swaps I've got to find a way of organizing a whole bunch of flies. A whole bunch. Why am I so addicted to swaps? That's another post.
