one brutal day of fishing

[RoyL]

Cold isn't the word to describe fishing today....It was brutal. I have spent many winters open water fishing over the past years and today had to be one of the harshes, but the fish were eating. Over the past week I have landed 40 salmon on Cape Ponds on metal and jerk baits. The fish havent been big and average 4-8lbs but a load of fun...keeps the time passing by till the striped one comes back. lots of trout as well and today the small browns were on, they had some great colors too. The wind made it difficult since it would freeze my guides, line, and reel plus the white caps didn't help while wading around. i lost alot of fish cause of it, but ended the day with about 15-16 trout and 6 salmon. The pics are from over the past week. ...............two days ago me and two of my buddies got into a school of salmon which we took 29 fish from...that was one hell of a day of fishing..............So if the cabin fever is setting in, remember you can always bundle up and hit the fresh. hope you all have a wounderfull New Year.
