In either case, don't let it discourage you. Find a nice blue gill pond. My favorite thing to do on a hot summer day is throwing micro poppers to willing blue gill.

You picked a bad year to start.

I hope there was water up there. This is probably going to be a good year to fly fish for blue gill and bass. BTW fishing for blue gill on the right day can be as much fun as fishing for trout during a blizzard hatch.

When I lived in NY, I would get one for NY, NJ, CT and PA.

Right now the cost of our license would pay for NY and NJ out of state annual.

Merry Christmas

Colorado has some awesome fishing. Good luck to you.

I have heard that is extremely painful and lasts for several days.

The other fun one is when you are fishing behind your buddy and a fish is rising two feet below him. The question is would that be poaching if you cast right at him?

Those are very nice. Count me in with the Laphroig. I have not tried the Lagavulin.

What the heck, bring some tin foil for a sucking chest wound.

For those that are interested. That is a small stream in NJ that has naturally reproducing browns, brookies and is stocked with brookies. I used to love it, because I could take a train there and it would let me off 50' from the water. As I was going through photobucket I saw the pic and decided to ...

When were you last there?

I could fish this all day all by myself.
