A couple of days late...but here goes. Went up Friday when the road started to clear up following the snowfall. I was the only one there, but tracks showed that somebody else had the same plan earlier in the day. I was mainly interested on checking for movement on the large bows from 11-mile. Its's still early but what there you go.
Started down by 11-mile, only to find ice for quite a ways upstream. Had basically a long walk in really, really cold weather. Then fished the gauging station for a mile then decided to walk upstream. Fish were pretty scattered but more plentiful closer to the barns. Caught a couple of really nice fish - one fat cut bow that fought exceptionally hard given the cold temps. Brown SJ Worms did the trick.
Then I ran back to the comfort of my car heater. Guides froze every 3-4 cast, and my reel was locked in too. Happy o get a couple given the conditions. Did I say it was really cold?
