The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

At the last guitar jam we had I was listening to a couple of people complaining about how their kids get days off due to snow storms but it doesn’t seem to snow or storm quite enough for them to get the day off.

I couldn’t help myself but I laughed and told them I work from home and never get the day off no matter how much it storms. Then I had to add that on the other hand I can just take the day off any time I want. I don’t have to wait for a snow storm.

Some one said, ‘That must be nice?” That’s when I just smiled and lifted my beer up and yelled, Drink For The Band and changed the subject before I got myself into trouble.

My son Steve works outside and it has to be pretty bad for them not to be out working. Steve spent so many years teasing me when I had to go to work while he had a snow day so I couldn’t help but to tease him as he was bundling up for the day.

Well I hear Steve’s dog Honey shaking off the cobwebs. She will want a rubbing in a minute and then outside to do some busy before she starts her day.

Ha, she loves coming in from outside and running right up to jump in bed with Steve, so I threw a bunch of snow on her and played outside for a few minutes, so her fur is nice and chilly when she goes to see her master.

I can see this being a lazy day today. It’s dark and gloomy and we may not see the sun all day. Maybe I should tie a few more flies for the upcoming fishing season. What am I saying, I haven’t tied any yet this year, at all.

I did manage to get my fly tying station cleared off so I have room to tie a few flies. Now I just have to sit down and start tying those big hairy bass bugs for the Chain Pickerel this year.
