Chilled to the bone, Steelhead in Ontario in December

Well, myself and fellow FFOer Tim Smyth got out for the day on Saturday. It was a beautiful, sunny day, although quite chilly at about -2 c. We decided to get out anyways, as its nearing the end of the season for most areas that are fishable by the fly.

We got down to our little river at about 9:30 or so, and were greeted by crunchy snow, and shelf ice 3 inches thick. There were places to fish, but those that we usually looked forward to arriving at were covered in quite a bit of ice, so we had to change up tactics a little and try some new things.

The day didn't see much action aside from one very brief hookup, and a couple of fish we spooked while walking the trail along the bank.

A couple of shots from the day:
