Ah, my heart starts to flutter with the mention of trout season starting again. For some reason I've never gotten in to the larger fish. Not that they aren't fun and all. I guess I just need something like instant gratification.

I haven't bought a new trout rod in about ten years, and as I am still an unemployed dot-commie it's not going to happen anytime soon. I've got an old ugly stick that has done well for me, though. Might try to put an inexpensive ultralight combo on my birthday wish list (cuatro de Mayo).
