Hard to add anything original after the great comments.

I absolutely love winter steelhead fishing more than anything else. Well, almost anything else.

Tying yarnies, corkie set ups, jigs, spoons, etc etc keeps me occupied many evenings.

Fortunately I have friends with boats so Puget Sound crabbing and blackmouth are filling in. And a trip to the Yak now and then keeps me aware that there is sun on the other side of the mountains.

Also, as an "advocate" for sustainable stewardship of our natural world, I do some CCA stuff. It works for me.
