So far life in the "closet" isn't so bad. I get to kick back have a few beers, listen to some good tunes and tie a few flies. Last night it was an ice cold Hamm's, some Jerry Garcia Band while tying a few Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymphs. Every time I listen to the
Jerry Garcia Band Live album I think about fishing the South Branch of the Au Sable river here in Michigan. I never planned it but for some reason it was always in the CD player while driving through the Mason Tract. Ah the memories. I still chuckle when I think about the time I was near the chapel and every time a canoe full of loud drunks passed by they would flip over while every other canoe passed by with no problems. I guess you shouldn't be loud and obnoxious when passing the Fisherman's Chapel.
