Escaping into the Ice

Testing the ice.

Winter is setting in, bringing cabin fever in full measure. I’m madly planning to year’s trips, resting sure in the fact that the entire world isn’t grey and cold and there are indeed fish-laden tropical places still in the far reaches of the map.

I was lucky enough to sneak out with a few friends from Orvis to fish one of our open local rivers this past weekend. No fish—none of us had any bumps to speak of—but we had fun and I was able to take the new camera on its maiden voyage. As always, new tech takes a while to learn intimately. We’ve passed that awkward initial “what’s up?” phase and are entering into the “getting to know you” timeframe.

More about the day’s fishing to come on Chi Wulff next Sunday.

Getting ready to head down to the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset, New Jersey this Thursday though Sunday. If you are around over the weekend, come find me and say hi!

Fire is a good remedy for cold days fishing.
