The Cure For Cabin Fever



It can be a long winter in Western Wyoming. The rainy, snowy and cold weather can often last up to eight months here. Even an avid skier who usually enjoys winter, like myself, increasingly has thoughts of spring and summer and images in the head of some serious dry-fly fishing. The winter days are shorter and colder, and the opportunities to go wet a line are much more limited. Most anglers I know around here usually develop cabin fever by this time of year. Symptoms include restlessness, irritability, irrational frustration with everyday objects, forgetfulness, laughter, excessive sleeping, distrust of anyone they are with, and an urge to go outside even in the rain, snow or dark. Anyone else out there feelin' it? Not too worry...click on this video produced by my good buddy and co-guide Scott Smith. Nice work Scott.



Here's a few shots of Scott that should help as well...
