It was about 25 degrees, and I had to keep clearing ice out of the eyelets on my rod. But the river offered a nice variety today, and I had a great time.

After no bites for the first half hour or so, I downsized from the paddle tail I had been using in the fall. Once I downsized and slowed my retrieve down, then they started biting. Still learning how to fish in the cold, when not actually ice fishing. Braid didn’t seem like a great choice as it kept freezing up and getting stiff. Still, was able to get out there for a while and have some luck while learning a few things.
