But in January my rosy hue returns when those "friends" begin to whine about what to do for the next couple of months as they huddle shivering in their homes or, when they do get out, whimper about dealing with -14 degree days and wind chills that are, frankly, obscene. And when they bitch and moan while I put together a few North Carolina days like this, I am positively flush.
January 4th
Brookies in the Appalachians
46 degrees with a 4wt
January 10th
Largemouths in the Piedmont
64 degrees, 6wt
January 13th
Down East Reds
74 degrees, you guessed it, 7wt
So, take that, you Montloradahoians. For the time being I'm good, and a positively delicious shade of pink, right here in the Old North State. Mountains to coast, it's damn hard to beat.
And I'm itchin' to get out the 8wt.

My wife and I have drawn lines on maps with our fingers, from her dad's place near Branson, MO, all the way to the NC/Virginia border.
Yes, hot during the summer, but it's 27 degrees here today. Not going to get much better than that for the next couple of weeks, at least. Some day....
I'm sick of it, sick of it, ya hear? And you're not helping matters...
Sorry 'bout that Ken. Well, not really.
Nice week indeed.
A nice start for the year, Kevin. Absolutely.
Good work, sir.
Maybe that'll encourage the "Montloradahoians" to show a little more respect for the South...
and stop teasing us with all those damn trout pictures.
Its always fishing weather here in Arizona...now if I could just find some water to go fishing in.
Amen, Jay. Trout, trout, trout. It gets monotonous.
Now that's a challenge, Ricky. For sure.
Kudos to you, Mike. Definitely a great start to the New Year. Now I don't always have to fish for Trout, however, even the warmwater fish are stuck under a lid of ice here in Geezerville.
My point exactly, Mel. Glad to hear you are multi-faceted in your endeavors. :-)
Now, now, Steve. Bastards may be a bit harsh (though I am struggling to come up with a better term).
I'll feel better in July, when you're making gravy in your shorts, and I'm pullin' hawgs out of the Henry's Fork.
Til then, enjoy the fishin'... :-P
That's hard to argue with, Chris. Like I said, a subtle shade of green.
