The BF's checklist for a successful fishing trip with me:
1. I fall down at least once - check
2. I royally screw something up - check
3. I get cold - check
4. I want to go home - check
5. Maybe and just maybe we catch some fish. - check
This trip was a success by completion of the checklist above. I am a clutz, therefore me + ice = guaranteed fall. I got so excited when I actually had a flag that I pulled up the line and left it in a pile and it got a huge knot, the BF was not impressed, but he still got the knot out :). After spending over $120 on some excellent cold gear and smartwool socks from Wear On Earth in Potsdam, NY and wearing new Columbia boots the BF got me for Christmas, rated for -65 F, my feet still got cold! The rest of me was toasty in my new extreme weight Terramar base layers, which will also be excellent for snowshoeing, outdoor skating and hiking! Good luck with all your outdoor winter endeavors! I will share other pictures of mine!
My First Northern Pike of 2010, the funniest part is I will hold or pull in one of these fish and try to run away at the same time, they are so ugly!! |
