Rene thank you very much,Winter Blues don't affect me any more.I survived 4 heart attacks, so every day I wake is lovely,even in winter. But I keep my dreams of the season fresh by sneaking out to the utility room ,pick through my fly box,take knotted line off all of those I used,try to relive the pleasure of hooking those beautiful creatures,oil reels,regrade my lines for the 20th time,and sit with a fly book in hand thanking God for the fish I was allowed to keep,and God speed to the ones that I released,and probably fall asleep with the dog.Bless you.
