Thanks, I think it's rather pretty here.  Though the past couple months have been very, very, cold and have been getting old.  I just have to remind myself of how nice the summers are.  Though the bass don't grow as big as down south, there's a nice variety of species with all kinds of cold, cool, and warm water species.
I fish from a float tube.  It is a decent sized one that can hold a lot of gear (which is good, as I'm a gear junkie).  I bought a bunch of pvc piping and now have it decked out to where I can bring six rods and a fish finder with me.  I fish a lot of small irrigation reservoirs, so it works out pretty well for me.
Oh, and I ended up ordering the 1.75" small fry.  I'm planning on eating a lot of fish tacos this year
