After WEEKS of trying to decide on a color, I finally did it! I took the plunge and ordered it!
I waited by the mailbox for days and days on end, wondering if this would do the trick. Would the fish bite? Would they go for this color? Would it attract the biggest, the best, the brightest Chinook, this year?
Man... I was stressed. Not that it cost that much, it's just that I only let myself have one new color a season and this is the one for all of Fall? YIKES!
So... today, I got it. I was totally shivering with anticipation. The Fed Ex truck pulled up and I just knew it... This was it. There was no going back. Would I like it? Would it be the same looking color as in the catalogue and online?
I had studied it to make sure it was perfect. Years and years of data, all put into my calculator and on top of that, just simple and common sense. I took in all of the info from the year's past, and since they never make the same color, I had to judge for myself... Would it do? Man... I'm so glad I kept a journal of all these statistics... Weather, ocean temps, reels, rods, river temps, precipitation.... and colors used!
So, Ladies and Gentleman... the bet is on and I'm going fishing!
Cuz... I have my new lipstick for FALL!
It's called "Glace'" If it works, I'll let you know! I'm going to try it tomorrow on the Nehalem! I hear it's really slow, there, but if I catch a fish, that means we are in the money!
Glace' it will be!
