Our waters are still well below 50 degrees, but we're all out fishing.

Phew! I was afraid that you fell in for a few seconds, Brian. The water temperature in the lower Mattabesset River and the lower Coginchaug River ranged from 42 to 45 degrees, yesterday.

Not this year, but I've taken a dip in colder. It ain't fun! Fortunately, I knew what to do and also had a drybag with extra cloths. A guy just drowned in NY a day or two ago. Hopefully I'll stay nice and dry tomorrow on the river.
