So after a long hiatus, I made it back to the board. I just checked, and my last post was back in September last year. Since that time, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have been fishing. Family requirements and starting my own business took priority, but I am happy to say that all is well on both fronts!
It sounds like a cliche, but you don't realize how much you miss something until you get it back. The few times I fished in the fall last year, I just didn't have my mojo - something felt different - like I didn't want it and was just going through the motions. I lost my patience and my fishing became less and less technical.
That was until yesterday. I'll post a stream report too, but overall, it felt like it did when I was fishing 2 or 3 times a week about 3 years ago. Everything was clicking - reading the water - casting - catching fish.
Feels good to be back, and hopefully I can contribute regularly again. Looking forward to getting caught up and reading from some new members. I started lurking about two weeks ago and see a lot of new names - and of course the standard bearers remain (you know who you are!)
