After much thought, I've had it. Finito. Done. Fly fishing has been a big part of my life, but also a big strain. When it feels more like work, and not fun, it's time to throw in the towel. No more finicky trout to make me pull my hair out. No more pull your arms till they ache stripers. I still enjoy the low maintenance, stupid fish(bass and panfish), but what does that make me? All the flies to be tied, and all the miles to be walked. Gas the truck, gas the boat and stock up on the groceries. All the expensive gear. No sleep. For what? No mas.
Signing off. Done.

Wow. I almost believed this one.
Resistance is futile! My FFA Anonymous declaration:
Compulsively checking weather, flows and google earth.
Those tasks are never "Done"

I haven't even begun to stink, and the vultures are already circling!! 
I was trying to take inventory on all the stuff i was going to give away, and found a rod I didn't remember owning. Hmmm. Took it out of it's tube and it sure was pretty..........Grabbed a cigar and headed to the backyard to give it a whirl. Nice!
Think i'll check out the local striper pond this weekend................
