Winter Woes

January 11, 2010 By: Ward Category: Creekin

Feel like I’ve almost forgotten how to fly fish.

We’ve had a rough winter so far in OK… making it hard to find conditions worth fishing in. Between the constant cold, iced over ponds, snow storms (still have over a foot in a few places in the yard), and a new job with longer hours (QuiBids.com, check it out if you’re looking for crazy deals on just about anything), it has been hard to get in quality time on the water.

The snow’s been keeping the golfers away, but the ice has forced me to find alternatives to the ponds… time to explore the creek that feeds the ponds.

No success, but it was fun to explore.

In a different location it would be a sweet little trout stream.

After a more than a few unsuccesful drifts I checked the depth with a stick and It was 6-7ft in the middle.

Even the coons gave up on fishing. All the tracks were headed away from the water.

Or maybe they were only interested in the berrys??

Confident this hole will produce for me sooner or later. It’s got to.

Excited to see what I’ll pull out of these holes.
