You guys are such wussies. Went out for morning and afternoon. wind was howling in the lower end. Made for less crowdsl
Kept the fingers warm with hand warmer pack. Saw two fish landed, 12lb wild and a dolley around 4lb. Heard of two other wild in
the same run. None for me today.

Real men don't use their hands at all when fishing. It makes things really tough.

So, to clarify, I only had one warming pack in my left glove.Does that only make me a half-wuss? HaHa!
I see the wind is howling again out there.

Fished the upper today on the pin. Used a variety of displays, no luck.
Water is starting to get to the super low and clear stage. Lost most of it's "steely green" colour now.

Starting to get colder...This upcoming cold snap might deaden the fishing for the next week. But hey, you never know!

Good luck to everyone this weekend!

Snow is coming down pretty good right now. I'd avoid coming out this way today.... String wind in the valley and snow is blowing sideway.

Be careful coming out this way. Slippery everywhere. Tons of snow out this way.

Tight lines!
