TJ,

Number three is the way to go. You can catch fish year round on the rivers you will consider your local rivers and depending upon your river choice you can go out for the morning and be home in time for lunch.

From a fishing standpoint you are better off to spend time on one or two river systems until you know them real well.

Congratulations on the arrival expected in the spring - I have two kids at home and have always been able to find time to fish - but the trades with the Mrs can be costly!
