Just wonderin' who has decided it's time to start fishing yet. I was tying flies tonight so now I'm all itchy to go! I think I'll wait for some of this foot of snow to melt first though

I know last year I went during an early warm spell fairly close to this time. Fishing was slow, but I did manage a couple nice rainbows. It was about 40 degrees outside. But I want to go SOOO BAD!!! Somebody turn the heaters on...

honestly if you want to go that bad then just go, plenty of water is open and the fishing is really slow but you can catch them

Yeah I keep thinking I should just go... Honestly? I'm a little scared to go with ice on the water. Last year a stinkin' iceberg almost knocked me into the water while I was wading in the shallow water... Maybe I'll try it though, may be worth the effort.

If the streams in your area have ice, and the weather is really cold, just go out for a hike in the winter. Along a stream if possible.

It's a cure for cabin fever. Good exercise, and very enjoyable.

I've been doing lots of cabin fever exercises, including crow hunting, rabbit hunting, working on my bike, and just working in general. I "accidentally" watched a bunch of youtube videos the other night of guys fly fishing and now... well, you can guess the rest

I was out two weeks, breaking in my fly rod (first i have owned). Caught two small wild browns at Valley Creek and got some casting practice in. Was absolutely stunning and my fiance is ticked I am hooked on another hobby (her fault, she bought the rod).

I was out on the Yellow Breeches the other day and had some luck. I got 4 nice brownies and 2 good bows. I was using zebra midges mainly. Just trying to get out on the days over 35 degrees. Keep on tying for spring, it's right around the corner.
