I was out for a short time this afternoon; just couldn't help it - 53d, open water in N Indiana in January! Took the 2 wt. Found out when I watched the weather gal this evening that we had wind gusts to 18 mph. Still managed 40'+ with a #12 foam spider! Didn't catch a d@mn thing but enjoyed the heck out of myself!! However, 20 mph wind coming off 46d water requires gloves! Got checked by the game warden - he said he shouldn't have checked me as anyone flyfishing in Jan was sure to have a license.
