Rain enveloped me as I stepped out my back door, hands laden with fishing rods. I hurried over to my boat, with gooey muck splattering all over my Strike Bigeye Boots and rain bibs. In a flash, everything was soaked. The rainy season had arrived, bringing excellent fishing but also awful conditions for getting out on the water. I loaded the rods in my rod box (at least I had the foresight to rig up indoors) and crouched in the mud hole that is my backyard to hitch the boat to the truck. I made quick work of the task…
