Well today was the last day on the Stilly for a while. It was a little unreal standing in the the river with the snow pouring down at times. It was falling fast enough at times that big wet blobs of snow would slide off my hood with any large head movement.
It was a great day on the river though. Quiet, only a few distant fellow fishermen, river was in great shape, cold, but not too cold. (I say that as my legs still tingle from the cold soak they got today) Didn't touch a fish but there are worse things. :thumb:
This was also my first day of actually fishing with a spey rod. It was a struggle at times but I didn't hook myself and mostly got the fly where it needed to be. I'm somewhat amazed at the amount of river I covered versus what I could have done single handed. I think I like this spey rod fishing.
