Isn't that weird? People think that sitting and watching sports for hours on end all weekend is perfectly fine but sewing isn't? That's a strange way of thinking to me. Go for it--keep up with your sewing!

[QUOTE=stormwater;7671828]Clay-
Where do you guys like to fish? I'm in SoCal and used to fish the west fork of the San Gabriel (local) and the Sierras (around Mammoth and Bridgeport) for vacations. Kids and work took me away from my streams but I plan to get back!
We live in Wisconsin and own a second home in the western part of the state. That area is called the Driftless area of Wis which means that the glaciers didn't move through that area. Without the glaciers moving through, the land has many hills and valleys and a tremendous amount of spring creeks. I usually fish with a 3 wt fly rod on the small streams and my wife throws a 4wt. For the non-fly fisher out there the lower the number the lighter wt the rod is and it makes it fun to chase the smaller brook trout for which these streams are famous.
Get back out on the water, it's a grand time.
