Took a walk with Sana and Bori today. First snow fall of the winter. Forgot how nice it feels to sleep in, watch TV in bed, and wander around the neighborhood. We are chipping away at Breaking Bad. First time for Sana. Second time for me.
Surprised to see the fishing huts lined along the bank. The commitment. I love it.
Before picking up a fly rod for the first time, I never thought I would be the type to enjoy pond fishing, but there were moments during the fishing season when I actually missed staring at my indicator on the murky water.
Lots of rising fish in the early morning. After catching one on the surface, I switched over to eggs and caught a half dozen before packing up and heading to work.
Took my glass 4wt with me. The short length (7'6") made it hard to set the hook at times, but I think it was more fun than my 6wt. Maybe I should pick up a fast 8' 3wt on the cheap for the pond.

Hoped that the fishing would be as productive as it was during my last trip. No luck, but still nice to be out on the water. Beautiful day.
long walk home
Brought out my Orvis glass rod (4wt). Took a long time, but I started to cast some nice loops with an easy stroke towards the end of the day. Still not very fond of how short it is (7'6"). Tough to keep the leader nice and tight on reach casts.
Next rod on the list: 8' 3wt. That should take care of almost all of my lenok fishing.
