Try them on a fly rod when they are sipping midges.

Nice Atlantic!

Chinook35 thank you for your service at a difficult time. Prayers and blessings to you and your family. I am also in a high-risk health field and well versed in universal precautions. I have a slightly different view of people getting outdoors (NOT Walmart shopping). First, vitamin D (sunlight exposure) is essential to a healthy body. We may be lessening infection rates or duration of illness by getting proper dosage of sunlight. Flu rates in Florida vs NY are quite different. Second, buildings in cities may be creating an environment for spreading Covid-19 (anecdotal -needs to be studied). People quarantined on cruise ships that stayed in their rooms still got sick. Historically, cruise ships would have a horrible time with Norovirus outbreaks because the virus particle is too small and passes thru ventilation Hvac filters. The Cornavirus is a small particle that also is too small for filtration by hvac systems. Guess what systems buildings use..... hvac systems. We MAY be making the spread worse by keeping people inside. I don’t want you to feel dread when you see people outside. There is much we don’t know about Covid-19. Stay safe. Wear your mask tight to your face and try to stay positive!

Rush Limbaugh should not be cited for scientific evidence.

Under your premise of keeping your eyes wide open, might I suggest that you stop only watching Fox News. I do agree with keeping boat launches open for boating families only. Also, under the umbrella of keeping your eyes wide open (even if Covid attacks mucous membranes). I was wondering why N.Y. is getting hit so hard and cities like San Francisco not as much. San Fran did start mitigation sooner but still such a HUGE disparity. Perhaps the LOU community can solve this riddle. I have a theory that the ventilation system in NY high rises allows for spread of the virus. I think about my own house with a cold air return recirculating air and can’t help but think buildings in NY attempting to save money in heating and cooling costs have building designs with recirculating air flow? Does anyone know how high rise buildings move air?

beauty!

What length shaft?

Trolling 5 miles out IS social distancing. The back of my neighbor”s house is 10’ away.

Happy Easter everyone. I might have to put out a glow Easter Egg pattern spoon out on Sunday and “Passover” some kings across my transom.

Fine colors on that specimen

I have not seen any cormorants yet so glad they are going in now. Big wind coming should murk up water for them to hide.

If you hate lakers, don’t put a R&R Kodiak Wobbler Mag on.

I amended original post as forecast looks better than this morning. Come on warmth!!

Looking ahead to future weather, it looks like the possibility exists that sub freezing temps may extend long enough that rewinterizing your I/O may need to be considered based on where you live. Weather.com hourly forecast is helpful but can change daily.

Nice king. Coho makes great table fare.
