20 and below

One of these should eat the other.
Winter in the Rockies, it's usually white, cold, and really, really, really, ridiculously good looking. It is also an angling season that is traditionally dominated by flies sized 20 and below. So, it is an angling season that constantly terrorizes my streamer loving mind. We shall see what decision I make when Sanders and I hit the water tomorrow. Life is rough. Especially in the winter.

It's been a little unusual this year. We normally get a few really nice days in the 50s or 60s between storms. What a great outing.
