Alright, WTF?!?!?!?!?

I am almost ready to give up every now and then, and this is getting to be one of those times. I haven't been able to get out to Broken Bow for any fishing in what now seems like a total eternity, but is really about 6 weeks. I seem to find more and more ways to occupy my time that aren't fishing, some good and some less good. Maybe it is just the way things go, but it is not working for my mental health!

OK, the fishing thing is really getting to me. I will be in Broken Bow next weekend for the LMFRF meeting and One Fly tournament and hopefully I will get plenty of time on the water then. The reports I have heard indicate fishing is really good right now, that makes it even worse. But, I have been trying to get some fishing in lately to ease the tension but I have been getting the skunk more than I want to lately.

Then there are all the extra things I am doing in my life that are not fishing. The skating, riding and fitness things are not bad for me, but they aren't fishing! The others just seem to wear on me more than I really want them to. I guess this is the definition of "fighting the good fight."

At least the Stars have been getting some good wins lately which is nice for me. But there are 7 weeks left in the regular season so it is not decided yet. Hopefully they can get past the injuries that have been a plague for them at the beginning of the season. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

But, my birthday was good. A nice pair of Tony Lama full quill ostrich boots and a great dinner at Hector's on Henderson made for quite a wonderful 43rd birthday. Plus my wonderful girlfriend loves me which makes all the suffering seem bearable.

How about a little river porn? What do you say? Here is a beautiful shot of the Chute in Zone 2 of the LMF river.
