Aaron,
Awesome. You hit most of my passions in one edition. Just got back from -35 Minnesota chasing walleye's.

There's a host of awesome thermal underwear styles on the market. I personally like the waffle style thermals for warmth and with silver impregnated thread to prevent body odor. Cabela's have a huge selection. It really helps when you're in the thermals all day in your waders or out hunting in the b...

Mike,
Outstanding year. Looks like some very memorable trips and beautiful fish. Those steelheads get me drooling . Thanks for sharing and hope for another great year.

Congrats! And enjoy!

Now that was nice! Someday I hope to accomplish that. Thanks for sharing.

Pete,
Oh man, where do I start. Actually, I think everyone else dide Personally, I think its a great site. Although, you could add a few more pics of the coveted grass fly rod.
Brad

I love the thought of slow action rods. I can really feel the way they load up and cast with realitive ease. I just picked up an old enwick HMG blank that I hope to put together in the next couple of weeks. It should be really sllllllloooooowwwwww compared to the new graphites.

Brad

Too Cool!!!! Not only an Olympic medal, but a medal in a sport that the US doesn't see many in...and he's a fly fisherman!!!

Dave,
Have any experience with bad falls? Its always good to reinforce good safety practices, especially when you're off the beaten path and near water. Hope all is well in the Rockies and you're keeping warm (except when chasing big browns in the Yampa).
Thanks for the reminder,
Brad
