I decided to grab the buggy whip today just to notice that I forgot my waist pack containing my tips, leader material, spare hooks, etc etc.... Just to attempt a good fantasy of starting the new year with a wild fish on a local PS river with no luck.... Just an awesome day of getting to sweet run just to have a sled with 3 buggy whippers beat us into, hiking about 1/4 mile up from them just to fall on my ass on a ice patch, getting layed out flat on my back. After that sore, bruised and pissed off but continued on up another 1/4 mile until I felt this was good stretch to work. Just getting started to make my first cast and noticed from that fall i broke off a snake guide and its just not my day for buggy whippin....

Today was an epic fail...
