If I think about summer, will the snow and ice melt? (buck bug edition)

As we found out on Thursday & Friday, there's a ton of snow and ice to melt before we can go fishing ... Here's a few bugs I tied over the winter while thinking about black flies, mosquitos, warmer weather and bright fish!

And of course, a tune by some porkchop wearing 70's dudes to keep with the summer theme:

Things are looking up!

We're heading north on Wednesday or Thursday this week and the rivers are raising! Life is good! With any luck we'll see some bright fish move in with this raise. *fingers crossed*
