fishing report

November has been too full of student essays and visits from friends to do much fishing, but I did finally purchase a pair of waders at Swain's General Store the last time we were in Port Angeles. (As if access to Olympic National Park, the Coho Ferry to Victoria, and in-laws weren't reasons enough to visit Port Angeles, Swain's puts it over the top.) My waders are a very lady-like shade of pale blue, with pink lettering on the chest. Although Swain's does indeed have almost anything you might need for almost any kind of activity in which you might engage (Logging equipment? Check. Polish pottery? Check. Dog toys? Check.), they did not have wading boots in my size. So my waders wait, a little forlornly, at the bottom of my closet. Winter steelhead fishing, perhaps?
