Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Opening Day

It's opening day for trout in New England. Be there or be square.

The pic is obviously of a Southern gal. Yankees wear LL Bean regalia covering head to toe. I have never seen a Northern female so casually fetching. As a New Yorker friend says" Just say'n, not for nothing".

I think safety is very important; I'm glad she has her floatation devices.

WoW! Is that a Hardy St. George reel? Haven't seen one of those in a long time. Great reel. Simple, clean, no fuss. The line seems a bit heavy though, even for that water. Maybe it was Photoshopped?

Great posture too. Notice how she keeps her elbow in so as to maintain good wrist control.

By the way, it's likely that she's fishing somewhere out West. Our streams look like that come late morning.

I think there's something wrong with you ...

I've not seen one of those on the rivers I fish...but I'll start looking. Could be my eyes aren't what they used to be after years tying on #20 zebra midges.
