Today, I'm somewhere else.

You can read a new piece I wrote, Winter Water, over on The Backcountry Journal. It's the first time I've written something for somewhere else but I seem to be in good company over there and am excited for Ben's venture.

In case you need some small nudge to go over and read it, here's the opening:

I like scotch neat; no ice. It’s also how I prefer my small streams. That’s more of a dream now than a possibility. Daily temperatures aren’t moving much north of freezing and in a few weeks the cumulative effect of all those cold nights will grip the streams tight. Even though I don’t like ice on my water, I still like winter fishing. Well, maybe that’s a bit strong, but my passion for catching trout on a fly rod cannot be diminished sufficiently by chilling winds and frozen precipitation. I’ll be out there as often as I can steal away enough time.

I hope you enjoy the rest of it.
