Seems like a stupid idea. -5 to 10 degrees. Yea, still stupid.

You sound like my wife...but yea it's stupid. It was a nice afternoon, air temps touched 30, sun was out, glad I went.

If we would have had air temps reaching 30 here yesterday, I would have gone fishing too. Only reached upper teens here.

It's amazing how much fun it is to pop the ice out of the eyelets every other cast or so. Or to drop your flyrod in the water and find out that the reel is frozen shut and you have all this line out.

Look on the bright side - Instant-Tenkara, without having to buy another rod...

by 724flyfishing on 2018/1/7 8:01:42 I enjoy winter time fishing but I draw the line around 30 or so. Everything is iced up around here and probably will be for a while even after it warms up. I would have to drive to the Yough outflow to find open water.

I just returned from 3 months fishing in Patagonia and was thinking about hitting the Yough this week. Any tips on where would be a good place to start in this weather?
