Hey guys,
Wondering what your opinions are on stream temps and winter fishing? Assuming you can tough out the cold air--is there a point when the water is so cold that you won't bother wetting a line?? I know there are temperature ranges in which fish are more active than others, but assuming you find the temps well below that mark--what do you do??
I'm heading back to MN for a few weeks and I'm wondering if it's worth it to plan a fly fishing trip. I'm already going to ice fish/snowmobile/x-country ski on Lake of the Woods (northern-most point in the lower 48). I would really like to hit up the driftless region for some trout as well, but I dunno if I can handle getting skunked when I'm all by myself and its -20 degrees out.
Northern Minnesota colder than Mars this week - Minnesota Brown
Thanks
