It’s been another long, hard icy winter, as the old timers used to say. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty partial to the pleasures of hard water angling, and western anglers can still find places to actually cast a horizontal line - even in the deepest, darkest winter months.
Sometimes the planning of a trip can be the best part, this year the planning of the whole season is what is helping me get through this long, cold winter.
