We made it through January pretty well and now its time to get back to work. A lot of my anglers ask me what I do in the winter so here is a peek. This past Thursday I tied a fly. The first one since October. With that success I tied two on Friday and they both came out pretty good. After all that work I took the weekend off. Now its Tuesday and I’m already planning on a fly to tie this week. Actually most of my new supplies have arrived so it won’t be long.
I was watching a disturbing news report yesterday. One of the reporters mentioned that the price of gas is expected to rise to close to $5.00/gal. by summertime. Then add another $1.00 for Marine Gas. I was forced to raise my rates this year because of the fuel costs. If they keep going up there will be a lot fewer charter boats and anglers that can afford to fish.
On a brighter note its getting near spring salmon time in New Brunswick. Gail won’t make it this year because of her surgery but I might be able to take a short trip.
