Playing Hooky

 So I woke up the other morning at my normal 4 a.m. and started my day like any other. Make coffee, check my phone for messages from employee's, check NOAA for the weather.... what's this? It's going to be 70+ degrees today? In early March? Sorry work, but I'm feeling a little under the weather all of a sudden. Better not come in just in case I'm contagious. Yeah I'm guilty, I played hooky so I could go fishing. And it was totally worth it. After about an hour walking the river out a the "Sage" I drifted my fly through a deep curvy bank and ended up setting hook on a beautiful 14 inch, buttery golden brown trout. First of the year I might add. Best part is I felt no shame.
