baetis weather
Damn, I must be getting really old.
After a week of warmer than average weather, we are all drizzly and "baetis weather" here today with more of the same predicted for all week I'd expect to be all fired up ... but the nice warm house seems more inviting than standing in a cold rain, waving a stick ... Old sucks Larry ( who will try to get his own lazy ass out there fishing .... shouldn't waste the opportunity ) |

Old sucks Larry ( who will try to get his own lazy ass out there fishing *.... shouldn't waste the opportunity ) No one should feel guilty about not fishing when the fishing might be good. If you like to feel guilty, think about all the stuff you were supposed to be doing when you were fishing. :-) |

(excuse my brief digression...a fukkin mosquito just buzzed my computer screen!! honest to goddess skeeter! where would that ******* hatch this time of year?...now back to our regular program) anyway, dr. prewitt taught me one of the most valuable lessons any college professor ever delivered to me...and one i too often forget. thanks for reminding me of him. it's a pleasant memory too long shadowed by the everyday. jeff |
