Happy 2013 from Floatfisher

A few glasses were lifted to toast a great 2012 and many great things it offered Ms. Floatfisher and I. 

Once again, we crested the 75 day fishing mark with many great days of fishing. Many days were spent on / off the rivers with friends and family, and then,  capped off with a 

remarkable trip to Montana, to enjoy all the fine folks, rivers and sights. 

As we embark on a new year, we look forward to a milestone birthday for one of us, which should provide another stellar fishing opportunity, somewhere. We have many new rivers to float in our new 

boat that was acquired in July.

2013 will definitely mean more fishing for cut ties, our favorite

Christ, did I mention, that we have over 5000 grape slushes to fish with this year. I know fish will love

purple this year. Just wait and see.

Just when you thought the "Tug is the Drug", Suckers need loving too. 

As the sun has set on 2012, let us begin 2013 in grand fashion.
