We had American relatives over for Christmas and the weather was no big deal for them (we were up in the Welsh valleys beyond Pontypridd at the point of rendezvous).

I've just gone on the North American sister channel of this forum by accident and found that people are getting out there in all weathers?

... so generally, is fly fishing a fair weather scenario in the UK?

No, I've fished quite a few times after ice breaking.....................and caught !

Well done C & M, you're quick on the draw - been out twice in the last week myself - invigorating but enjoyable!

Go for it mate, rain shine or snow - almost froze to death last time I went out, tickled a few Grayling, fealt like a bulley - but best tasting cup of tea I've had in years when back in the warm !!!

No, fished yesterday and got practically covered in snow and watched the water freezing in front of myself to hardly fishable.
Also fished a couple of days over christmas and wasn,t the only one so not everybody is a fair weather fishermen, or fisher women, just gratefull to be out there, ck

Well, I am happy to fish in all weathers so long as I can get a line in the water.

Snow, rain, wind...whatever; fish need to feed in all weathers. And they do!

Yesterday and today... Managed about 2 hours each time before loosing all feeling in my fingers. Blanked both times...
Still, it was good to get out and the rivers are starting to drop round here so hopefully that will put the fish on. Planning a couple of grayling trips next week on the Coln and the Windrush so with a bit of luck it will be sunny if not barmy!

Not as harsh here as many places but still a propper freeze on - dog walking day before last - Jack Russells can walk on water.
