Almost Skunked at Willard

[riverdog]

It's OK to admit you got skunked. It happened to me the first time for the year not that long ago. I was fly fishing and no hits at the first hole so stepped upstream into some deeper water just to have freezing cold water rush down my left leg. Somehow my waders must have gotten torn at the end of the previous outing. Called it a day after the 10 minutes and pick up the first skunk for the year. That was 12/31 so the next day was a new year and another chance at the elusive skunk free year (so far so good). Honestly I didn't even think about the date until I left. Might have stuck around despite the freezing water pouring down the big hole in the waders had I realized it.
