Not going to be in the office much the next few days. Not going to be on the key-board. So, on my way out the door. . . Merry Christmas!

I would much rather wish you happy holidays from a bucket on the ice instead of sitting behind my desk. Hopefully, that will be the case!

I do have one gift that some of you have been looking for. . . .

The “hard copy” of the 2020 Fishing Forecast will not be available for awhile yet, but you can see it on-line!

Merry Christmas!
