No guarantees but if things go as they have in the past few seasons it will be about 70 more days until the linesider fury crashes on the cape shores. Bright, spanky schoolies eager to grab a fly and put up a spirited fight. Huge bass gathering around the herring runs on the sound side, soon after on the bayside runs. Fish that are willing to forgive fly selection, sloppy spring casts, or just about anything our winter rustiness can muster. The sun will shine warm in our faces through the day and if the tides are right we'll catch fish through the day. The spotty spring schools will thicken into a resident community of raiding ocean bass and blues, and all will be right with the world for several hours a week.
In the mean time, there are lots of things to be done:
a) Striper fly swap still in full swing
b) Feb 10 - Saltwater Edge Fly Tying Fair (<!--nohttp--><a href="http://www.saltwateredge.com" target="_blank">web info</a><!--url-->)
c) Feb 17 - Rod Building Kick-off at Rod Builder's Workshop (Kingston)
d) TBD - Indoor casting clave
e) TBD - Blue Northern Fly-tying Beginner day
f) March 10-11 - Wilmington Fly Show (Shriner's Auditorium)
g) April - Taxes !dOh!
