Thanks guys. It was touch and go, a couple times, as to whether it would be a flyrod or tomato stakes. I've got a lot to learn.

John. I wish it were a little closer up there. Talked to my buddy at Hibbing. They're still fishing on 2 feet of ice.

Our water is still cold. Just a couple decent days would help a bunch. I'm about an hour and a half east of Ottumwa.
