And I mean COLD. Started at first light at Selesse. The water was a really sexy green with an amazing clarity. Frost flakes on the rocks were 2 inches and it was greasy hike. We fished the runs along the clay banks slowly and carefully covering any area where we thought a fish might be and the ones where they most likely wouldn't be. Fished all the pockets. Squat with a large side of poutine diddly. Did I mention it was chilly? Fortunately, my well prepared son had grabbed a couple of packs of those chemical shake hand warmer units to shove in my fingerless gloves and my fingertips managed to get a bit of feeling back. He's a good kid. We slipped and slid our way around and covered as much of the water as we could. Time to move - down to the lower section as my futility needed to keep up with it's fitness resolution with some more exercise. We waddled around a few spots, to no avail. Off went to the lower bridge to walk down the dike and try our luck. Not a sniff, but I did see some fresh guts in one spot. As we had to be back in North Van by 2, it was pack up and leave time. At least I got a cheap tank of gas. ;)
The oddest thing happened as we had passed Thurston earlier when a pretty small bear cub was sitting on the side of the road. He was supposed to be sleeping.

Did you happen to take water temperature measurements?

I've seen two bears in the last week so not all are asleep!

No, but I talked with another gent when we stopped at one place and he said it was too cold for the fish to be moving. I just show up and chuck my hardware around, damn the torpedoes.

Hmmm always wondered if that actually applies to migrating fish, i seen coho move up stream under ice up north.
