New Year's Resolutions

I made of list of issues we had this year, and we plan to remedy to make it to the water faster in 2011.

1. I will remember my anchor, and not have to tie rocks to my drift boat.
2. We are going to carry boat plugs at the store this year.
3. The amount of breakfast burritos and Hot Stuff pizza I have eaten at the Ulm gas station has to be unhealthy, and I will make sandwiches in the morning this year.
4. I plan on drinking more water in the boat, and less of the other... we'll see.
5. I plan to witness the morning hatches this year, not sure what the Missouri is like before noon but I'm getting older, and seems like Ihave been getting out of bed easier, so I'm looking
6. forward to that.
7. I am not chasing stonefly hatches this year, if it happens it happens. Unless Ihear about one, and in that case...well I'm chasing it.
8. I'm going to land a Permit.
9. If we are fishing the next day, I'm giving myself a midnight curfew.
10. I will remember my camera and the SD card that goes with it, and take it out of it's case.
11. I'm steelheading for at least a week, bringing the pizza oven and the long rods.

That's a list.

KK is in the shop this week unloading new flies and counting for inventory.

Erik's helping out with purchasing and making sure we are ready for our new venture in Northern Idaho.

Savannah says Belt Creek is frozen. So am I.

New shop staff is driving here today.

Cornfed's been shooting some birds.

We are all fishing the Mo tomorrow like every Jan. 1st, even though the high is 16 and should be windy.

Of course we will be celebrating tonight...as should you!
