Sick of the cold and snow? Show me/us a pic of a favorite summer spot?
This is the Farmington river in Simsbury, CT. I'm lucky enough to be five minutes from a put in for my boat
And yes, this will be the test venue for the mhackney fly reel...soon...I hope

Man does that look nice! Now I have an itch for this long winter to end.
Beautiful place to go fishing.

We feel for you Captain! Do you get any snow in the winter?

No but some nights in winter it gets stupidly cold, occasionally as low as 2-3°!!!
And it rains a bit sometimes.
Crappy weather.

Wow, it gets that cold but no snow. We get buried by that white @#$$ every winter.

Our summers with regular runs of 104° plus tend to leave us unaccustomed to the cooler weather and the wet stuff is a PITA after months of clear blue skies.
Need to win lotto so I can just follow summer around the planet

Picture taken off the dock from our island.
It's currently -44C with the windchill here. (That's -47F for some of you)

I'm from Ohio also and we have had our fair share of snow. Now we're supposed to get another 10".
I'd be quite happy with the 1" you were talking about. Nice picture, makes me wish winter would get the H out of here!

Nice looking ride! Another couple of months and you'll be cruising. I think your son needs a little smaller version.

See! Now that's snow! None of this 60F one day, -4F two days later, then snow the next, then rain two days later and 40's! This state didn't have goofy weather like this when I was a kid! We got snow! It stayed until spring!
