Well, here comes another storm - so why not take a moment to reflect on some of those memorable fising days.

For many -this year in review will be a hard one. Especially with 9/11 keeping things in perspective. Let's be thankful for our freedom and thankful that for a moment, a screaming reel can make all our ploblems just seem to disappear...

What is your best fishing related memory for 2001?

Here are a few of mine:
Early mornig mist on the water;
The sun rising as you wade out and make your first cast;
No sounds but rushing water and birds;
The elk and deer that are your only neighbors on the water;
The rod being nearly ripped from my hands;
Going in late to work after my buddy and I spent the mornig chasing fish (yes - I do make up the time...);
Taking time to learn some new water or a new technique;
Being rewarded for that hard work;
Sharing my love for fishing with my 'Little Brother';
Watching my 1.5 year old get excited when I showed him all the pink salmon spawning;
...
well, you get the idea. were all so crazy about fishing - I just want to see what makes others tick....
