I am sure it will be fine but the winds and wind chill is too much to fish, for me anyway.

Yes, fish should never be taken out of the water in such conditions for a picture.

Love this cold weather.  Hit a few popular runs last few days and was pleasantly surprised to be the only one there. Steelhead fishing with no drama......PRICELESS

Brrrrrrr...Not for me thanks. I keep thinking I’m going to go out and that there must be some untouched fish stacked up in a few places with the river being empty of anglers for a week, but damn - the comforts of home are feeling quite cozy! Maybe tomorrow..

It has been snowing heavily in the past two hours. I would not come out this way unless you really have to.

River has been quite low. It had some more colour to it in the past couple of days which is good.

Ya slow. Heard of one in area we started. Fished a tonne of water. Wasnt till last run I tried Finally had 3 hits. 2 hook ups. One big wild trout or small steely syndrome and lost the other which was bigger. Nice day. Bit icy in areas be careful hiking. Tight lines.
