Up to my knees in snow with a solid under layer of ice for good measure here But outdoorsy types in Alaska keep a stiff upper lip, however the stiffness is caused by a thick layer of ice beneath the nose; caused by breathing

If you are out there dragging those fish to hand how bout a few pictures for a fellow who is waiting this out until the spring?

Thanks,

Ard

Wev'e just got 70mph winds again.with a bit of Snow melt. nothing serious.

Forecast 40mph gusts here tomorrow with a temp of 8C so I'll be out enjoying the wild mild weather trying to net a grayling or two. They might well be on form as the river will be settling nicely after a short rise in the last 48 hours.

Tight lines to Alaska!

Ahh, you still have green stuff there! Beautiful

Well it is the middle of summer here, I have not fished the fresh water since last November! But I have managed to get some Snapper and some Kahawai from the Shore in Auckland Harbour. It is about 24c and sunny today and when I finish work at about 2:00pm I am going fishing!
Hope it warms up for you soon Ard!
All the best.

OK then Mike, it took my looking at your location to see why its green there. I hope you had a good go at the fish, -15 F or -26C as I write this line. Just another 70 or so days and it's about played out for another year. I've a new 15' 10/11 rod waiting for the king salmon when they show at the end of May.

It's absolutely Baltic here in Fife right now.
0C this morning and I just heard its to be freezing the whole of February.
(It said so in The Sun yesterday so it must be true. )
Just when we thought we'd gotten away with a reasonably mild winter.
