Winter Stream Fishing Checklist
Mark correctly assessed my situation by asking, What's your sherpa's name?
I may know him. ------------------- Now that is funny! I have this stuff in my den all laid out and you are so right! Most will stay in my vehicle, but my gawd, what a bunch of stuff to just go fishin'. Next will be my minimalist approach. Stick, String, and Fly... Chris |

Winter Stream Fishing Checklist
<SNAPPAGE>
Whilst it may seem hard to believe you might have forgotten something in that list, you have in fact overlooked the most important thing for winter fishing: PAM non-stick spray to keep the guides ice free. PS I don't feel much like washing with the "Stainless Steel Soap". |

Yuck, breathables over some fleece pants works just as well, leave the neoprene at home
Butane does not work as well in cold temps. I would suggest a good ole Zippo and a white fuel/gas powered cook stove. And a portable wind shield for it. I think you forgot something Why? are you going to talk to yourself? A Temple Forks guy might would use whiskey but a Sage/Orvis guy would only be seen with a whisky flask. While your list seems quite long, much of what you mentioned should be in the vest already, and a survival kit in the car is not a bad idea if one lives or travels to an area that folks can and do get stuck for hours or days. But I'm just curious, are you one of those guys who's desk is always neat and are your leftovers dated and rotated for freshness?  |

I, on the other hand, am one of those who (that's for you, Mr. Claspy)
goes fishing and forgets his rods. My ridiculously messy desk will bear out my condition. -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Wayne! "...whose desk..."
Scolding works! Now sit up straight! Can't admit to that, though since my profession is all about classification and organization, I'll admit to being more relaxed when it comes to home and camp. But I *do* own a fair share of Rubbermaid tubs which can conveniently be tucked into the car before a trip. They just don't have labels on the ends with SH687... or GV199.6... on 'em. Yet. :-) Bill |
