First open-water trip of the year today!
I found a pond during my lunch-hour that was nearly 30% ice-free. It was supposed to be near 40 today, but I don't think its gonna make it. It still hadn't cracked 27 by the time I headed back to work.
I caught some cold fingers, and a good number of iced-up line guides, but no fish.

I used an indicator with a small microjig beneath that. The line is new, and the cold air left it coiling rather nicely. Between that, the iced-up line guides, the unweildy nature of the fly/indicator, and my own casting faults (and early season "rustiness")....I'm glad nobody was shooting video of this trip!

It sure was nice getting out and FISHING!
