In between these two situations are a few days when a short coastal winter river can be just right.

Then on those few days you need to be there....

And for those few days, I'm thankful there are "sick" days... Ya got it bad when you come to work sick so you can save your days to fish! From January to April 95% of my time is spent on weather sites trying to predict when I'll be sick!
