Hey thanks, guys... yeah, I'm hooked. Normally all I'm thinking about this time of the year is going snowboarding, but this year, it's a whole different game...

and no, I didn't catch it on a jig... didn't I read somewhere that float & jig fishing is like "training wheels"? jk... I got it on a corky and yarn, and a wee little trace of sand shrimp tail (like cast #20 for that tail, I'm one of those guys that doesn't like using bait)...

I will try the jigs, though... it will give me another excuse to use the fly-tying vise, and I can think of waters that would be better fishing with a float... I just hate rigging those teeny little float stoppers... almost as much as I hate using bait... just a hassle.
