1.) Today is the day for door ringing and tricker treatin'. All I have to say is make sure your bowl is adequately filled to the brim with candy. Tonight will be a busy Halloween, because it's Friday night, no school for kids tomorrow...more tricker treaters. It won't be brutally cold like it has been the past few nights, but the upper 30's may prompt a few people to take that jacket out of the closet. Tomorrow will be bright and warm with highs in the mid to lower 70's. Fishing should be great this weekend. The cold will be back, so don't get accustomed to seeing 70's.... next weekend we will be back into the low 30's for night.

2.) This year has absolutely flown past me. I think the fact that Christmas is only 2 months away is scary. If I'm not mistaken, Christmas music will start tomorrow on a few radio stations!?!? For some reason, they always start Christmas music WAY to early. The first song played on the first weekend of November last year.

3.) Anywho...fishing isn't bad at all. The trout are attacking anything that remotely looks like a morsel of food. Present a small streamer, or a black stonefly nymph to the fish, and I guarantee you they will be on the end of your fly rod in a heartbeat....as long as you use light tippets, and a stealthy approach to the river. I would fish the pocket water, seams, riffles, and heck...try the slow pools.

4.) More tomorrow...Panthers are off on Sunday with a bye week (which they truly deserve), so we will have to wait until next Sunday when they fly to Oakland to attempt to take another win back to Charlotte.

5.) Election day is Tuesday...Hmmm...Obama or McCain....McCrory or Hagan... I'm glad I'm not 18 just yet, I wouldn't have a clue as to who I would get my vote... more tomorrow.
