Here’s a cool video from Gilbert Rowley about looking forward to spring fishing, even though you know that, usually, everything is not going to go right for you in the early season. But whether you’re fighting crappy weather, streamside vegetation, or persnickety fish, you should never quit. The rewards are worth the struggle.

Some of my best days fishing, have been on the crappiest weather days. Give me overcast skies with rain over bluebird days!
