James' remark reminds me of another relevant question for the group: how many subscribers like to partake of a little nip 'to keep away the cold' when they fish? What is your medication of choice? (Liquor, that is - if you're into something else, you probably best keep that to yourself ;-) I used to bring along a little flask of whatever brown liquor happened to be handy before I left - bourbon, rum, Yukon Jack, or even a single malt scotch. A couple times though, I got a really bad headache after a few snorts. I finally came to the conclusion that I'd rather be fishing without a headache than with one. Now I wait until I get back.
