I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Almost three months...

In the online world, that's like forever...

So, what's been happening with the ol' Wooly Bugger - fishing wise.

Here in Canada, the ice is on the lakes. Fish are dormant, and so are most fishermen. Except for those crazy souls who want to walk around a hole in the ice all day trying to stay warm.

Ice fishing. Total insanity.

A bottle of your favorite "belly warmer", a skidoo suit, an ice auger and a cold afternoon.

Can't say I'm very fond of the idea. Cold toes just don't make my day happy.

But...

Fishing is fishing. And I've stood in the middle of a river dodging ice in February to chase a whitefish run.

So, who am I to judge the ice fishers?
