Homeward Bound

I left Missoula at 7 this morning ready to get this travel day over with. I started with a hour flight to Seattle. I am currently waiting for 3 or 4 hours for my next flight from seattle to Newark, NJ, a solid 5 and a half hour flight! FUN STUFF. After that its just another hour or so flight to Burlington, Vermont and Im home! I wont be able to get any fishing in today but you can bet your ass Ill have a fly rod in my hand tomorrow for the majority of the day. Until then I will be adding some stuff to the blog with all this spare time I have waiting in airports. Less than 24 hours until throwing BIG flys for pike, Bass on poppers, brook trout in the backcountry and big browns are all options! Needless to say im going crazy sitting in the airport thinking about this. GET ME ON THE WATER!

Great Day!

I've been waiting for today since the end of last week. Why you ask? The answer is I had 2 finals back to back, Biology and Math. I started the day by doing average on my Biology exam and actually leaving myself an hour before my next exam. I went back to my dorm and looked in my mailbox..No it couldn't be..My HYDROS!! I broke my Orvis Hydros 5 wt the day before spring break and have been anxiously waiting for its return. I was running down the hallway yelling I was so excited. However I had to go take my Math exam before I could cast it. I took my Math test and to my knowledge I aced it! I pretty much sprinted back to my dorm to go get my rod to throw a few loops. It's a great feeling to have my baby (The hydros) back in action. Two more exams a 3 more days and Ill be on my way back to Vermont! See you on the water!

FINALS

Tomorrow is the last day of regular class, that means no more papers, no more books and no more teachers dirty looks! However I do have 4 final exams next week. Math, Biology, Anthropology and Organic Chemistry. Its a solid line up but I have a few days to prepare. Nine more days and I will be back east in Vermont with my feet back in the water and a fly rod in my hand. No more test and quizes. Until then I will be in the library filling my brain with knowledge and dreaming about fishing...

I am gonna miss this beautiful valley and everything that comes along with it but ill be back in a few months to do it all again.
