Well, the back trouble that has been hassling me off and on for a couple of years finally went from bad to worse at the end of August and has remained that way for the past few months.

My MRI showed a ruptured disc in my lower back, so I'm going in Monday to have it repaired during what is usually the "slowest" time of the year for me (now it can rain every day :p ).

I'm not going to work for about six weeks, so daily pix will be very limited, but I'll keep the reports going and am hoping to have the time to work on more expansion of the site as I recoup.

For those of you that are still on the water during what is shaping up to be one of the best brat seasons in some time, if you want to email or snail mail some of your pix my way, I'll be happy to put them up on our reports page.

No need to give a river name ... perhaps just a little info about the pic, angler, and perhaps a region of the state.

Thanks everyone!
