Hikin', Tyin', and NEIPAs On Leap Day 29Feb20

Kala & I got out on the Academy on the awesome Leap Day weekend. We definitely needed the micro-spikes however as the morning chill thankfully hadn't melted the ice. Later in the day the talk of fly tying with mates finally inspired me some to get to the bench. I mostly tied the Bronx midge (Manhattan variant) in purple but other midges are getting loaded for the pre-BWO onslaught. Accompanying our hike and spa and my tying were some NEIPA trials of limited release. The GD Hazy is always good when released but the experiments from Melvin and 4 Noses were even better, Mind Bloom and Revised Copy respectively are worthy of tastes - if you can find them.
