Things have finally cooled off a little, although today and tomorrow will see highs back in the 50s on the plains east of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado. Still, we had a bit of snow a couple of nights ago and in general things in the high country have cooled from reasonably chilly to frigid cold. My fishing excursions will be limited for a while which means I might have a little more time to tie. My nymph and streamer boxes need some (will actually a lot) of help and because of my move, I now need to tie some regionally appropriate (or should I say required) dry flies also. There will be occasional fishing trips as well including at least one or two trips to area tailwaters. I use the term area loosely, suggesting anything within distance of a day or short weekend trip is fair game. Do I dare dream of the Frying Pan and the Taylor? Time will tell.
Outside of fishing, it is that dreaded season of final exams, Christmas programs, and all of the other activities that consume unusual amounts of time. Of course, I'm glad for the holidays because that means some time off, but getting past the flurry of things to do is always tiring. I'm already dreaming of warmer weather, spring BWO hatches, and yes, even my spring break trip to Tennessee. After all my adventures to places like the Grand Canyon and the Everglades over the past few years, I'm returning home for spring break. The timing is perfect so the bugs should be hatching and the fish hungry. Until then, you'll find me trying to keep warm and rest up for another great year of fishing in 2013!!!
