Anyone had their annual tackle box organization/cleaning/replace/consolidate session yet?  Some local lakes are opening on Monday and I'm ready to rock.

Why is that job of cleaning out every nook of your boat and box so therapeutic?  Thank goodness for an early spring in the Northwest!

I'm with you on that. Organizing my gear helps me get pumped for the coming season and to reflect on what tactics I'll use.

I'm exclusively a stream angler for trout and SMB. I carry a green canvas creel with all my gear,so space is at a premium. I like to move fast and often trying to get to places that are not hit hard by casual anglers.

All my SMB and trout stuff needs to fit into the green bag so I have to choose carefully.
