{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How Cold Is Too Cold?

If it is a cold day, the fish will be active at least briefly during the warmest part of the day.

The best winter days I've had have been the really warm days like charlie said. If there are some clouds that can help you on a warm day, but lack of sun can kill the action on a cold day. This all varies tremendously from stream to stream. Take a thermometer, if you find streams that never drop below the upper 30's those are going to have more consistent action through the winter. Some Spring-fed creeks even stay warmer than that. Other streams will get right down to near freezing and I've found these are basically devoid of action in winter (some of these are places where I've had double digit fish days in spring, so the fish are there, but won't show themselves).
