For some reason, Jeremy let me talk him into going fishing early this morning. Real early. 0430 early. Well, he picked me up about then, anyway. And it was only 2 below zero.

Open water at 2 below? San Juan. We arrived about 0645 and hit the water. Visibility was less than a foot, and fishing was tough. And did I mention it was cold? A balmy zero at Navajo Dam, wind chill somewhere on the bottom side of -10.



We fished the Kiddie Pool for a bit, at least until we could see what we were doing, then I dragged, er, showed Jeremy around all the spots from the Texas Hole up. Did I mention it was cold?



But fish did exist, as Jeremy showed somewhere up in the braids:





We finally gave up around midday, too cold and too dirty water for us, and we needed to get back to town anyway for various reasons. We got into a dozen fish or so between us, most of them in the 17-20 range, which was a poor showing but, well...
