Very nice pictures! Sorry to say that here all fishing spots have frozen and the remaining is armchair fishing and tying flies for the coming season.
Have fun,

And to Mike, your dedication beat me out for sure. I had a 5 hour drive the day before (vs your 16), with no kid (or wife) in the car. Still haven't been out (fishing or hunting) in the new year...won't be long though.

Love the license pic - every time I print one for any sport, any state, I feel like I'm printing a ticket to Disney World...only better.

Love the report. Nothing wrong with a long distance release on that trout. That fish just wanted you to keep your hands warm

Yup, rain can put a damp..er on an otherwise good day. Yeh, that was a joke. We'll make it Mike 1 - Fish 0 for New Years Day.

That's some dedication to get out there after the long drive home...funny you mentioned "Caddyshack"...I don't know how many times I've looked up and said, "...I'd keep playing..."

Way to get out and give it a go Mike. Not sure I woul dhave made it after a 16 hour drive the day before.

I missed my New Year's Day window this year. It was nearly 60 degrees on Sunday in Northern Virginia but combination of a champagne-induced headache and the chance to watch my Redskins lose one final football game was too strong to get me off the couch. I thought that I'd have a chance on Monday, but the winds picked up and now it won't get back above freezing for several days.

Thanks for the reminder that I have to renew the licenses. Where did you pick up that snazzy zip-top pocket?

Not a bad start T!. I likewise did an abbreviated trip to kick the year off, though I had blinding snow to contend with. If you're releasing the fish anyways, you can probably count that fish.

Quite remarkable how this picture perfect day turned into a dark and dreary day in one hour! It must have had something to do with that trout wiggling away from you! He just wanted to get back under cover... : )

seriously chilled out there now...
sounds like the New Year started off great.
Fly casting really hurts if you have pneumonia.
I'd call it a catch with an asterisk.
I think Kent was channeling Chuck Norris on his day out. But, he found his net. ;-P
