Stress Medication...

I found a new remedy for stress, brought on by work, steelhead skunkings, etc...

It's called private trout water. And while it may not be the most scenic, natural, or ideal fishing venue, it sure as heck made me feel better.

This one kicked my ass on the 5 wt.

Back to the steelhead grind tomorrow... here's to hoping I catch one as big as that dang pond trout.

Exhibit A: Why I Need A Drift Boat or Raft

Here, there, and seemingly everywhere on our local rivers I find access blocked off due to private property. I just want to fish!

Seems like I need to get a boat...

"a house comes first." "a house comes first." "a house comes first."

I think the wife has beaten that one into my head pretty well.
