Took a little drive up to Causey yesterday to try and find some gosh darn ice. The Boy scout arm is starting to ice up as well as the arm that runs up towards Causey estates. The other (not sure what to call it ) was just about froze to the cliffs. So with some more cold weather it wont be long.
With that said I have the fishing bug and deicided to hit the Ogden with the fly rod. Beings that this is one of my favorite times of the year to fish. Something about eyelets freezing up, not playing leap frog with everyone else in the river and something about fishing in the snow seems to work really well for me. Started off with a flashback pheasant tail and a serindipity. Caught 3 smaller browns (12" size) and 1 rainbow that looked to be a planter. Had quite a few fish flip me the fin. Moved on with a prince with a red zebra midge below. Hooked up with 2 more browns around 14". Took 1 wrong step and in the drink I went. With a sore butt and wet sweat shirt I called it a day. Water levels were low and slow and pretty clear.
Praying to the ice gods now.
