Where do you draw the line and rather stay home than head out to fish?

Never. I will go fishing in any weather, in any season.
When it is well below zero.
In the heat of summer.
When it's going to pour rain or snow all/ most of the day.
I am a wuss. I only fish on fair weather days.

I live in North Van so road conditions have an effect in getting out to the Valley.  Also if it is below -10 and real windy.

Ditto with the road conditions.  I have so much Simms gortex and merino wool I can handle cold, wet, etc...  Wind does suck but one can always find somewhere to fish.  With 2 little ones, when I negotiate a day, you better believe I'm going!

unless the wind is going to blow me off the freeway then im good to go. I was going to go out today before work but not at minus whatever with that 25km wind ! If i was gear fishing then i might have still gone but being a work day i decided to stay home instead.


HOOK - really hates it when you arrive at a lake to find 4-5foot waves after a 3-4hour drive !!

On some of the crummy days I do still get out but tend to do more driving/hiking/exploring than fishing.  If the road conditions are extreme (rare) i will stay home.

As a fly fisher, it is only a strong wind that can keep me at home, and I have fished in pretty blustery conditions.
