It was almost 70 degrees on Wednesday, Feb. 21, and I had to go over to Avon to renew my driver's license at the AAA office there.
(This procedure takes about 10 minutes and costs an extra five bucks, as opposed to the DMV, which can take hours, days, weeks. When my mother moved here from Virginia, it took two and a half years of on-again, off-again effort -- and a phone call from my state representative-- to get a new license and registration.)
So it was a simple thing to stop at the Farmington and wet a line on the way back.
Everything was perfect -- nice flow, not too many people around, the usual parking areas muddy but free of snow.
Except the trout didn't get the memo. Or they ignored it. I tried a little bit of everything, and moved around quite a bit, and failed to even tickle a trout.
And of course it immediately turned into winter again.
No matter. It was wonderful to get out there and work up a sweat.
And on the strength of that I am starting the NW Corner 2018 thread a little early.
