Roads are plowed to the lake; ice off this past week is pretty much complete. Cabin rented. Callibaetis will be perking up (literally). So mid June should bode well for Rainbows and Browns & Kokanee before they go deeper. Time to check off the tying list; twiddle with the boxes and turn toward the gear. Going with a 3 and 5 wt. Intermediate and WF floater. I will have a Type III if needed. Tippett material, pliers, sunscreen, pipe and tabacco (AND LIGHTER’S!~see previous post re briar/pipe woe). Course, I will over plan and take too much based upon ‘what if’s’. Just my way….’always prepared’ is family motto.
