Happy New Year to all, and just to get the ball rolling for another year, today is the first day of Income Tax season. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, especially for those that will owe the government. On the other hand, my wife can't wait for our return, she is already remodelling the front room. I knew there was a reason she allowed me a new puppy. I'm sure we will be out and about looking for new furniture and accessories long before any cheques arrive in the mail. My mad money is safely hidden for this years upcoming fishing adventures and for those few goodies that a guy might just have to have. Can't wait to take the Spratley and the dog to Spider Lake for an introduction to fly fishing. I guess a doggy life jacket is in order. Hope to see you all on the water.
