Jimi, Here in Oregon you learn to just deal with the rain and get out. Last winter I didn't get out much after the Steelhead, but this year I'm hoping to get out more often. I did make it over to the Crooked river a couple of times last winter and am hoping to do the same. Most years I don't catch a fish on a dry fly till about May, last year it was in Jan. When I'm not looking for work or actually working I spend time wrestling with the kids or playing Shrek with them on the PS2. We're also planning on getting heat in the wood shop this year so I may do a little more playing around on the lathe and making some wooden fly boxes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Desert Eagle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 8:41 AM Subject: [VFB] Curios ??
