I got a call from my fishing buddy Koen today. Apparently there are some waters without ice in the Belgian Polders. He fished there yesterday and caught two pike. Today I had other obligations, but tomorrow I will definitely go check it out myself! I’ve already set the gps (and printed out a map, just to make sure), checked my rods and lines, put new leaders on, selected my flies… I just feel very much alive. Even if I don’t catch anything tomorrow, the thought of being able to fish, be outdoors, and try out some of my new flies… Aaagghhh!!!
I probably overdid it again. Most likely, I will use only one rod, but that’s what wintertime does to a fisherman.
So wish me luck, and I will post whatever happens tomorrow evening…

Tight lines, Stefaan and go have some fun! I can't wait for springtime. I am not the winter type at all to be honest.
Tight lines!!
Winter will last here still for at least few months. Not nice...
Tight lines!
And have an enjoyable time :).
Wish I could go fishing too.
I completely understand...supposed to be 40 f tomorrow. Gonna go throw some line. Hopes of a fish is likely not as possible as winning the lottery, but it the time outdoors that matters.
Thanks a lot for the support guys! But I don’t think I will sleep any better now. If it’s been a while that I was able to fish, I often feel the same way as 25 years ago. But that is the beauty of fishing I guess, and it is certainly a way to keep us young!
Have fun and tight lines! I know that feeling, apparently there are some open waters far out in my home waters in the Baltic sea, I am aiming to go there a day next week. And as you say, doesn't really matter if you catch anything, its the feeling of getting out there that you're after.
A lot of luck tomorrow. That you have good captures!
