Show us your go to “Happy Place”

This could of been me 25 years ago. I've since wised up. Only an idiot would go out in the snow and cold to fly fish. I only go out when the sun is warm on my back. It hasn't happened yet this year. And this is May, for shits sake.

Better hurry up @Old Man, wait too long and it's going to be Sept and start snowing again :oops::oops:

GoreTex and other outdoor gear has changed a lot since you and Izaak Walton went fishing together.

Personally, I’m far more comfortable standing nuts-deep in a river or the Sound in February than I am on the deck of a skiff on a 100 degree day with the sun melting my brains out my ears and threatening me with spontaneous combustion. Don’t get me wrong, I happily do both each year, but I can always throw on another layer. I can’t, however, take off more clothes once I’m down to my trunks and tshirt.

YMMV, though, as not everyone is a giant Scandiwhovian that sunburns on a cloudy day in December.

I'll have you know that it snowed twice yesterday. Woke up to snow and then in the Afternoon it started in again. I think I already told you all that we go through 9 months of winter and 4 months of late spring. I used to say summer, but the growing season here in Butte really sucks.(n)(n)
