Winter slump...let's do some reflecting.

So tomorrow's about the last day for muzzleloader season here in OH. My brother, Greg, and I will be at it in the morning. Hunting deer and pheasants have kept me busy, and most importantly outdoors, the past month or so. It's been a fairly cold winter and most of the fishable waters are frozen. Mohican is open, but I'm craving steelhead, and some dry fly action. (crap! It's only January!)

It's a good time to tie flies, I suppose, but that has me just wanting to fish, not tie! Heck, I even bought a new wading jacket and got some new wading boots for Christmas this year.

I guess I'll post some pictures I've been looking at, reminiscing and wishing that I was there, in that exact spot all over again, fish in hand.
Here's some 2010 "highlights", in no particular order:

                                                                  Oil Creek rainbow
        Brownie on one of the Sandy Creeks.
                                                                      Sandy rainbow
                                        Fishing Creek brookie. Poor picture for a beautiful fish!

                                                                    Sandy brownie
                                                                     Pat and a 'bow
                                                 Clear Creek, OH rainbow. They do exist.
                          In fact, there's at least two there. Two from the same hole, believe it or not.
                              Surprised to find a river redhorse on my line! Clear Fork, Mohican.
                                                   Pat's first ever steelhead, a nice buck.
                                                                         Vermilion
                                                  Oh yeah! Killer hen steelhead on the V.
                                                               Penn's Creek brownie
                  Underwater shots from my Casio Exilim camera phone. Great phone and greater camera!

                                                                    Sandy brookie.


Ok, enough daydreaming. Back to the winter grind...
