Almost Spring

I'm trying to fight the winter fishing malaise by making videos from old footage, but in reality I think it's making me more desperate for good fishing and more stir crazy from being inside and not out on the water.  I really should be making more flies--that'd be practical.

On Valentine's Day I caught a good six fish at Monastery Lake, which took the edge off a bit, but I really want to get in some small stream and float tube fishing in.  Oh, the wait.  

I haven't gotten to the Juan yet this winter season, so that's on my list before the spring.  Otherwise, the things closer by are too crowded and a bit too slow (the Jemez, Chama below Abiquiu) to feel worth the drive.  

I did go skiing for the first time since I was in high school this week.  A bit too fast, expensive, and crowded for my taste, but at least I got outside!

Keep up the fight, fellow anglers!  Almost there.
