JimS,
I got just the thing to help you get out on the water this winter. How about joining me in my canoe? If I can tear myself away from the steelhead for a few days, I'd love to try some winter trout fishing. We can bring some coffee or cocoa and sit high and dry. I have an electric trolling motor and a fish finder that may help find the lethargic fish.

I'm thinking of hitting Pass lake (no trolling motor allowed there I think) or some other decent trout lake in the next week or 2 (week day). Send me an email if you're interested.
