this gets me ready for some winter steelheading!
from "a river never sleeps" by roderick haig brown.
"cheese and beer and the fruits of summer and fall fit naturally into any picture of fishing days. but a winter fisherman has other delights as good: after a january day of hard wading, good irish whiskey, sparkling by artificial light, and a fire of alder wood or maple leaping up the chimney; five or six hours to talk and a dinner of roast beef or roast saddle of venison somewhere in them, the inward warmth spreading slowly out to meet the surface warmth already built by a bath and the fire"
I just love the mental picture I get from this!!
