Packing Up...sucky and fun at the same time!

Well Sportsfans...I'm about to embark upon an epic voyage. If I were not in my own shoes I'd be jealous...I really would. But alas, I am the one about to ship out on a two month open-ended journey and you? Well let's just say you will have to be satisfied reading about it on the Zero2Hero Musky Fly Fishing blog.

I'll be flying one-way out to Sacramento, CA where I will spend a month or so with my father. Jimbo is one of my best friends in the world. To have the opportunity as a 40 year old fly fishing bum to go back to live as a son is really a great joy for me. Jimbo lives in suburban SacTown and normally I would shy away from suburban anything...to a true Musky Tribesman suburbia=hellhole.

But in the true spirit of Zero2Hero I will attempt to show you the anglers way...tuning into everything and anything fishy everyday immediately around you...being an angler 24/7 all 365 Days and 366 in Leap Years. Silly? Maybe but I bet you are curious!

Trust me in this. If you follow along. listen and pay attention I will help you become a better angler and a more balanced person. Big words I know. But anglers are persons of action.

Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.

I digress. Get used to it. I do that often.

Packing Sucks! But it is also an opportunity to really study your situation and learn to operate in any travel situation with grace and peace.

So I dug out a packing image from the Musky Country archives...this was from an over night mission last September(2009). AA(me), Marv, Big Pike Mike, Lucky and the fishdogs Spicey, Penny and Lily went for a little Tour of a remote corner of Musky Country.

I do wish packing for an open-ended two monther was as easy for me as was this trip. I generally procrastinate and wait for inspiration when packing to travel. Past images help me to connect with the journey that is ahead.

Visualization is key to proper angling and life.

I already shipped out a road bike...no not the gas and go HogHarley kind...the two cylinder foot mobile...a Bicycle. Super fishy way to get around and get to know the territory Sportsfans.

It's Green by God and you really get to know the terrain...you earn every hill and kill many birds with a single stone. Think about it. If you can define your Home Angling Territory by the waters you can walk and bike to and from then you have a pretty groovy start to a full fledged 365 fish campaign.

Back to packing...arg!

I gotta buckle down and actually do it now. Trust the process.

more later...
