It's hard to accept the fact that its already October, especially when it feels like June was just a few days ago.  Again i look back and think that i should have fished more, that I should be fishing more now but somewhere i know that no matter how much i get out on the water, it will never be enough to get me through the winter.  Winter in NE sucks....and it sucks more if you're a fisherman.  A week's trip or a few long weekends south don't cut it and by the time April comes around, i'm about ready to put a fly in my own mouth and pull myself around the basement for a good 20 minutes.  I've taken up rod building to help the time pass and still enjoy tying for the winter, and having a fresh new fly box for each June (primetime up here) but in the end, there is no substitute for the winter blues other than time, the first Robin on the lawn and the first reports of bass in New England waters.  The one thing i do not have, which i told myself i would, is an arsenal of videos from the season...i don't have a video camera and still can't put down the rod to film someone else's action...but if i have one Fishing Year Resolution for 2007, it's to buy a video camera and film the action when the bass are busting or the tuna are shooting bait sky high.  Long winter ahead...but I'm already excited about spring and maybe visiting a few good friends down south during the winter months to come.   Who knows, maybe this year will be the year i get back down to the bonefish flats of the Bahamas!
