<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>A few days ago, I was fishing in a frustrating combination of events. Now the temps are rising, fronts are coming in and offering up rain, but maybe not too much to blow things out. Warmer temps, more manageable conditions, less stumbling around in a pre-<a href="http://www.hypothermia.org/hypothermia.htm" target="_blank">hypothermic state</a>, safer wading&#8230;a definite incentive to get out in this window of opportunity. Like much in life, one cannot be left with an outing that was so void of positives re technique and efficiency. A positive imprint with some successes must be created. Without those, frustrated fly fishers fall away. I vowed to use that two hander more, and I too require some successful outings to build upon. Now that I think about it, maybe the barometer is falling&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
