Good Company

[MGTom]

My son called up last night and said he had today off, and asked if I would take him to the little river. Usually he chases fish in the snake. I think he was worried because I haven't seen anyone since grandma passed and I might be drinking. Not today, another day sober, and clean time piles up eventually. It was odd, I didn't really fish, I let him do all his own stuff, pick flies that he'd tied, read the water for runs and holes, and I just followed for the most part. I fished each spot when he was done, showing him how I'd do it. He only missed a few.




He and Ash are bringing the 3 grandkids over for dinner and football. Lots of good company.

It's been a number of years, opening day '91 I broke my sage, although I'd been trying for awhile before that. But really it just starts when I get up. My sons never seen me messed up but knows from his mom's stories that I just can't handle my liquor, and once I start I can't stop on my own. My son can have 1/2 a beer and walk away. I never understood how someone could do that. But I'm just wired funny and that's why they worry.

Clean and sober for 10 plus years now.
Best 10 years of my life.
One day at a time.

Neat looking water. Looks like an east side stream. What is the name of the nymph in your photo? That's an interesting one. Also looks like a pretty large (2x?) Tippet? Sure is fun to fish for trout that aren't line shy!

Yep, SEWA. I don't know the fly he tied, it just had that green sparkle dub and a very short marabou tail. Good eye, it was 2x. I got him down from 0x but he still likes thick stuff, he thinks bass most of the time.

Sober for 37 years now. One day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. But definitely worth it.

14 years. ODAAT.
Without doubt, the pandemic has been challenging. Isolation, uncertainty, worry...all things my disease tells me to deal with the one way I know how. Keeping the plug in the jug for now because I don't want to have to deal with that shit show again.

If I may ask, what does SEWA stand for?
