Finally got the roof top carrier repaired, which led to putting the canoe up and heading to the lakes this morning. Fishers in the boat next to me were doing well with ultra light spinning rigs for crappies, but I didn't do squat. Bluegills was a different story. I'm falling in love with my new H & H 3 wt. What fun! Gonna make the woman in my life happy with fresh asparagus and freshly caught bluegills for dinner. I guess I'm off to find a bottle of good white wine. It was good being afloat. JGW
