Granny said I was full of it when I called December 9 in Florida my last day of fishing for 2024. She was right. Yesterday Howie and I took our ladies to Bayfield, WI for lunch at Morty’s Pub then we fished the town dock on Lake Superior for a short time.
It was chilly but not nearly as cold as it should be for late December. It was a damp 25° with a steady wind but the sun was bright. You can’t feel any heat from the sun when it lays this low but mentally you think you do. We lasted perhaps 45 minutes before the guides of my Winston froze completely up. But great news, we saw some fish and I landed a 15” splake. No blank!
After fishing we went to Howie’s for Christmas Eve dinner and a few delicious coffee, chocolate and a variety of other tasty Christmas-type-celebratory stouts! Now I think my fishing for 2024 is done. . . . . . .
Be sure to keep track of my upcoming travels at the 2025 fly fishing shows and fishing around the world!

Jeff,
Wishing you and your wife a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year!

Thank you Tad!
Never say never beast! Still a few days left.
True!
my last fishing trip of the year was out of Flamingo in ENP on Dec. 19th. Don’t know when I’ll fish again in 2025.
there are very few things more important than fishing, but helping my wife battle cancer and upcoming surgery in the new year is one of them…
Alec, I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s cancer. Best of luck with the battle and the upcoming surgery. I hope it all goes well and you get to go fishing soon.
