VERMONT TRIP

I and my wife drove up to Manchester VT. for the long weekend, we did the tourist thing and looked at stores etc.

I figured I’d cast a few flies on the Battenkill on the NY State side on our way home, well low and behold when we got up Monday I had to spend about a half hour or so scraping the ice off the SUV. At that point I said no way am I going to stand in that cold water. On the way home we looked at the River and saw one guy FF and he had on a heavy wool cap and heavy wool gloves. I had no winter gear with me so home we came.

I did buy a new hip pack at a fly shop up in Middlebury its a Fishpond, I think I will like it when I get to try it :)
