here comes the bug...

I was just thinking. I love flyfishing. LOVE IT!! But just like I get the hennies bug, HEX BUG, steelhead craze, I get the ice fishing bug. I get an enjoyment from it that is unique. You set up your shanty, get your heater goin', drink coffee. I sometimes cook soup for lunch on a day trip. Really make myself comfortable. It's really nice when the wings play an Sunday afternoon game and I can listen on my old transitor radio. I know listening to a radio can ruin the solitude, but it is a tradition from when I went as a kid. Seems like Stevie Y. was scoring more than :)

Yup! Same here. I love ice fishing and I get just as excited as the beginning of the steelhead run, the Hex hatch,Duck season etc.
The people at work think I'm freaking crazy because I get the itch so bad that I sometimes walk around in my Jigging motion! Nobody really understood 'til I took a couple of them out and now I have many of them just as excited! But they still think I'm crazy!!! :)

Hey weezer, ever think that maybe just maybe they're right. What kind of a nut goes on ice, fishes until he can't feel any part of his/her body, and says they love it? Well if you're nuts, so am I. Like last year I went down to the PM and fished on a day, that if it warmed up a little it may have hit 0 degrees. Stopped by the Baldwin Bait and tackle store and talked to Steve for awhile, and looked at me like I'm nuts, but I still love it. Steve is a pretty decent guy by the way. :D
