Exactly Lunk!
 I don't often give water reports but here's one ... was in the upper river near Anderson pond this morning and the water was very close to fishable.

Hey Rod,

Never sure if it comes up, but thanks for helping out newer anglers with such a neat, informative opening post with regulations, season length, images, write up, and many other details at the start of each key season for various species over the fishing year.  To my knowledge, you do not see such well thought out, nicely constructed posts/messages elsewhere, so I do not know, good koodos or vibes your way for your efforts!!!

Would do a thumbs up or hands clapping if I could find it, but can't, so guess you get:

You're welcome Dan, I missed this earlier.

I like to have all the info available for anyone. People will come and fish the Vedder regardless, so it's good to make sure they have all the info beforehand.

Water is up and cloudy coupled with the extreme cold makes for very poor conditions. I will be staying home in front of the fireplace drinking rum.

How did the boxing derby go? Lots of wiegh ins? 

[bobby b]

Haven't heard of any

Nothing on Freds '2021/22Derby' listings page ..

Fred's Insta ... Their last post at 1pm  was that they may reschedule to a later date in Jan if there are no weigh-ins today ....

From Fred’s Facebook

BOXING DAY DERBY UPDATE 🥶  There were no fish weighed in today, so we'll be doing this all over again on January 16th. If you had already registered for today's derby then you won't have to register again. If you were unable to attend/register for today, you've got a 2nd chance. More details to follow.

Absolutely tough day. the baitcast reel immediately malfunction in the cold weather. braid line frozen straight out. Reschedule is a good call.

[Wiseguy]

Thanks for the update. I never left the couch. lol

What reel model?

[iblly]

I don’t think model matters once that wet line starts spooling back on in minus twenty.

I have never fished in such cold conditions before, what are some things to watch out for to protect our gear? What is preventable and what is not? Would love to get some input.. Thanks in advance

Don't use braid
Pre tie leaders with worms, beads etc (may want to tie them with snap swivels, tying in those temps is mighty difficult)
Check and clean line guides often as they will freeze up
Bring hot pocket packs for pockets and gloves (extra gloves are handy too)
Bring a dry cloth ... wet hands suck in freezing temps 

.... keep moving
