Rod Before Ride 26Feb16

I managed to get to the PT for some late winter rainbows. I just went for the AM; while the water clarity is improving and the weather was nice, the water is still cold above Valco and the pace was still pretty slow. I saw only a couple fish as I moved upstream so didn't do well sight fishing. Yet, I caught some smallish ones like this one, on the red blood midge. I didn't really see any redds being built as yet but expect that soon. There were some grey-brown midges hatching. Afterward I rode a ~15mi loop and then hit Old Chicago to watch a lacrosse game and enjoy some New Belgium Citrtadellic (tangerine IPA) - nice Friday.
Ok, the embarrassing truth is that I yet again crunched an x bike into the garage. My Wilier is toast. I took off my bike rack Thu to drag the camper home and repair it all for the coming season. That part was done fine but I used the car top bike rack and did not follow protocal and bury the garage door remote. Grrr. I have a new Fuji frame coming which will accept all the componentry from my current wasted bike... every time I do this I get a bit cheaper frame, since I don't deserve better. Sheesh.
