February 12, 2007. Since Friday evening I've been at our house in Fraser, Colorado. Although there is plenty of snow, the weather has been somewhat mild. I took in some skiing and noticed that parts of Clear Creek were flowing, while most of it is frozen over. Likewise, the Fraser and my beloved, Colorado are a solid sheet of ice. I hope our friends down below are okay. Driving by some of my favorite holes and seeing it frozen made me a little depressed and longing for warmer days when I can put away the skis and bring out the rods. Until then, I'll continue to daydream about tight lines.
