because I really haven’t been fishing….until this past week.
Went out with a 5 degree temp and a windchill at -10, at least. Got to 16 mile and after falling, breaking my phone, and losing my car keys, I made it to the hole up from the mouth to see at least 30 fish. Hooked one, had 2 follows and foul hooked 2. The bitter cold drove me off after an hour and a half, and frost bit hands had me back in the car.
The dummy that I am, I arrived there the next day in the early afternoon to see the temps even worse, the creek frozen over, and the fish tucked under the ice.
I then walked upstream to the route 5 bridge and there were no fish in the creek. Called it a day, a cold one at that, and waiting to hit Yellow this week.
