Today I have the tail end of a cold/virus, and it is raining so hard in No. California, the frogs are knocking on our doors wanting to come in out of the rain!
At age 63, I have become a fair weather fly fisher. Standing a$$ deep in an ice cold river, with ice cold rain coming down, wind gusting at 30 knots, your fly trying to hook you on every cast while trying to catch a steelhead has dropped from my list of fun things to do. Last weekend my older son went fly fishing on the Delta. Wind was about 35 knots, temp at about 49, with rain and fog, chill factor at about -12, and I said that I would stay home and watch the grand children. He just shook his head and went out into that weather for his great time! The grand kids and I had a great time!
Looks like we're practically neighbors. KSFO rules...
But I love to go fishing. I only salt-water fish in Delaware (it's personal thing-long story) and with a 3 year old haven't been able to go out on the Bay.
But did a lot of surf fishing this year. It's a good thing I always have a back up plan for dinner!!!!! We didn't catch a thing (meaning a keeper) all summer long.
Today would have been a wonderful day to go fishing - but for some reason we never thought about it!!!
