The guys who got fly rods from Santa this year are lucky because they can take them out and try them out on local open water right now instead of waiting till the end of March or taking a trip south.

The local long range forecasts puts highs at 39 or above and few overnight lows below freezing all the way out to 1/13. This weather creates a rare opportunity for us to fly fish local open water in January. Problem is that it is so rare that I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
