Trying to keep smiling up here on the OP. No water, or fish. Keep dreaming of fly fishing for silvers out in the strait. Man what a kick! Never had so much fun. In fact, I'm building a new 8wt flyrod specifically for it! Going with single foot sic guides, double strippers, and titanium all the way around. Also experimenting with a new hook with a shorter shank in hopes that I'll get more lip hookups for cleaner releases. And just think... its a humpy year! keep looking for the silver lining!
