Tom, absolutely beautiful shot. I’ll assume that was yesterday during the light snowfall.  (Quote)

Wayne’s got as much snow on his head as those river rocks do. Does he live in the middle of the river??  (Quote)

Michael: Yes, it’s waterproof after all.
G: Thanks
El: Patagonia soft shell (more later).
Dave: Thanks – look familiar to you?
John: Weird – Dunsmuir had a good 6-7″ by Sunday afternoon – ’bout twice as much as Mount Shasta.
Chile: He probably should, but the snow was coming down hard.
Day: You’re back!
Kentucky: Actually, Xmas day picture already shot, not this one.

EVERYONE: If you get a chance, click on the link (below the picture) to see a much bigger version, which looks a lot cooler.  (Quote)

Being new to the gamut of available fly fishing equipment for sale nowadays, please tell me; anyone selling a model with a heated handle?

Also, my preference for a liquid winter warmer is Rumplemintz.
