Spring is just around the corner....

I know, I am a bit early, but we have rounded the corner and daylight is starting to increase. To me, that is always a plus. Don't think about this being the second snowiest winter on record for Knoxville, just think that time change is only two months away. Then it is game on for the spring mayfly hatches in the mountains and the the tiny black caddis flies on the Holston. I can't wait, this winter has already been so terribly long. Excessive precipitation and work travel has prevented me from making my typical number of trips to the river. So, forgive me if I am being a bit overzealous in my desire for spring to get here. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make it to the Clinch and fish some of my favorite runs for some hard charging bows that shouldn't have seen more than a dozen flies drift past in the past two months. That is if the weather allows the river to thaw out, and maybe a little help from TVA as far as generation schedule goes would be nice.....
