Notes

Took the kids to the Flats. Cole was with us for the weekend. The boys looked for hermit crabs and barnacles while I waded out to the 3" and waved the flyrod around. Nice to enjoy a CAO while throwing around flies that I tied myself. To bad the fish weren't impressed! Typical of 2008. Worst fishing year I can ever remember!
