I usually try to get out somewhere at least once a week during winter and more often as it warms up.

Just last Saturday, the 31st of January my son Mike, his friend Ryan and I traveled north about 40 minutes to fish the Vernon Bridge stretch of the Henry's Fork. Had to walk in from the road, but it's only about a block and a half. About 24" of snow, but it was soft and I had my trusty wading staff.
Temps were at 24 degrees for the air and 36 degrees for the water with a slight breeze.

We started with a double nymph rig and dropped a San Juan Worm off the end and it was truly the bug du jour! In three hours, besides freezing, and ice in the guides - serious ice in the guides - we were able to hook over twenty fish between us and two standout fish were landed, along with quite a few more. We lost some great fish, but that didn't dampen our spirits at the bite being on and strong! One bow landed by me at spot-on 20" and another by my son at 22".

Anyway, just thought I'd pass along some of our winter fun.







Enjoy!!
