Yesterday's wind had me questioning why I didn't spring for the cab, even a soft-shell one. Or at least a snowmobile helmet. The Balaclava & goggles trick is getting a bit underwhelming.
Knee deep in the woods, big drifts on the flats. Cleared about a foot of snow off of my turkey blind this am as we circled the property packing the snowshoe trail down. The dogs lasted three loops before calling it quits.
Steelhead videos are playing in the background, trying to get my excitement level up for standing in a river waving a stick when the cold breaks. I've inventoried & re-arranged every fly box, cleaned reels and checked rods. Leaders, bobbers and some eggs are on their way. Still need a few more nymphs to fill out the box. Next up is pulling out all the winter fishing gear to make sure the waders are still good, the jackets don't have rips and the underlayers still loft.
