Santa (me) brought me a new Sage 489SPL lightweight rod,an Abel big game #0 trout reel AND one of those new fangled Sage 3200 large arbor Skeletal reels along with a couple new high tec lines this Xmas.(I couldn't make up my mind between large arbor and regular, so I got one of each) Now if Zen is right about the guy that spends the most gets the biggest/most trout, I should do well next spring.
Nearly New Years and not a hint of ice on the lake below my deck (Crescent Bay Lake) off Roosevelt. Usually frozen up by second week in December. No ice at all in the Basin,but some of the Spokane area lakes have thin ice now. laugh
