Fly fishing
About Jon: Ever since I caught my first 6-inch pogy on a spincast outfit, I’ve been hooked on fishing. During my freshman year of college, I picked up a book, a cheap fly outfit and a really crummy fly tying kit and proceeded to convince bluegill that my flies were better than the real thing. Practically 10 years later, my old Eagle Claw Featherlight has been replaced by a quiver of rods covering everything from small stream trout to big salmon and the bluegill have taken a backseat to sea-run cutthroat, resident silvers, fat desert trout and everything in between. If it swims, I’m in.

What a waste
Posted by Jon Aqui @ 06:45:53 pm

"You fishing this weekend?"

"I hope so."

My reply didn't come with much confidence, though, as I could feel my sore throat getting worse.

Come Saturday morning, fishing was questionable. Fatigue, horrendous coughing and an even worse sore throat plagued me overnight and the day ahead didn't look any better.

There was still hope, however, as I had two more days to get out on the water--President's Day offered me the chance to fight through the sickness.

But it was not to be--things only got worse on Sunday.

"What a shame," I thought, looking at the blue sky from the living room window.

"I need to do SOMETHING or I'll go crazy."

I guess that's what the vise is for, right? :)
