Turkey Day Spey Countdown With A Side Of Covid

 

The countdown is down to 17 days. I am still nervous about the water levels and water conditions. I know its fishing and we are at the mercy of mother nature. Since I have covid currently I am being hyper aware of all the weather patterns right now.

To that point I may have to fish a tributary to the Great Lakes that I said I will never fish unless it’s from the Canadian side.  I know I can get away from ppl on her, but this means fishing my eggbeater and not Spey fishing.  This truly breaks my heart, but you either learn to adapt or you don’t. It’s a tough lesson, but one that needs to be learned.

I have been following the reports about other tributaries on Lake Ontario and they seem to be promising. These are also the same tributaries that see barbaric amount of fishing pressure.

Life can be entertaining to say the least.  Last Thursday I was feeling like roadkill. I took a home test for Covid and it came back with positive results. Since I work in a public building, I needed to be responsible and not selfish and self-quarantine.

I got some Covid medication sent in by my doc and have been on it since Thursday evening.  It took three days for my fever to break.

The body aches were barbaric and the coughing well that really has not gone away yet. I am sure I will need to be on additional meds having my immune system compromised by my sarcoidosis.  All the coughing has been productive.

I will still be going fishing over Thanksgiving break. It will be interesting to see   after one week of work how my energy levels are. Based on what I learn about my energy levels and the medications that I will need to be on because of the cough I have going on, we will have to wait and see.

So, folks stay tuned!
