Crank up your karaoke machine
to Andy Williams,
"It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
and sing along...

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the days getting longer
the sun getting stonger, let's just make it clear
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With the stream water rising, they’ll be no compromising
So take care you don’t fall
It's the hap- happiest season of all

They’ll be nymphs to run deeply
Streamers to swing freely
A dry on occasion for fun
They’ll be lines just a flingin’
And reels will be singin’ as
You stand waist deep in a run.

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the trout finally legal
You’ll stare like an eagle
For fish to appear
It's the most wonderful time of the year

With your flies all tied brightly
Your waders cinched tightly
Your staff in your grip as you go
They’ll be high water raging
Around as you’re gauging
Each step of the way in the cold.

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much flyline mending
And rods will be bending
When big fish are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

Happy Opening Day!
