I haven't wetted a line recently due to focusing my efforts on deer and elk hunting. Looking out the window, I see that the sun is out and the wind is not blowing. You aren't going to get many more days like this until next spring so you might as well hit the river and enjoy the experience. With the sun out, toss some bright metal at those silvers and let us know how it went!
