Although it's springtime now, let's rewind almost a month to an unseasonably balmy day in late February when I headed out to Connecticut's beautiful Salmon River for some trout fishing.
Salmon River is one of those trout streams that a surprising number of you folks have requested to see on the channel and I aim to please! It's worth mentioning that I've actually fished Salmon River for years now, so these aren't unfamiliar waters. That said, I've never visited in the wintertime, so this was still something of a new experience for me.
I want to leave you guys with some notes about where this channel is going in the midst of this unprecedented Coronavirus scenario. So much has changed in such a short timeframe that it's still feeling pretty surreal. Maybe some of you folks have actually found more time to be on the river with everything else shut down; that's fantastic! As for me, I'm busy working from home and caring for my kindergartners who are out of school and require home instruction. There's no getting around it: until the world goes back to normal, my ability to produce content will be pretty severely limited. I'm going to do what I can, of course, but it's going to be slim pickings for the time being.
And with the school closures now extended to April 20 and my work-from-home orders being of indefinite duration, this is going to stretch on well past Opening Day and maybe even longer. I can only hope that you all stay safe and healthy, folks. And, with a little luck, maybe this is all behind us by May and I can get back to spending plenty of time on the water fishing and filming.
