Personally, I don't recommend fishing with a fly rod unless the temps are at least 15 degrees or higher. Below that, your rod guides are constantly iced up, your extremities may become numb, you can get frostnip in your fingertips and it isn't much fun.<br><br>As for rods, I suspect they can handle the cold much better than we can. I've never broken a rod guide from the ice, but the ferrules could freeze, which could become a problem. <br><br>I hope your son is keeping up with his fly tying.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>BrentBrent Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03757396722648254695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494698812464695833.post-81159047033047561542013-01-16T07:28:02.040-08:002013-01-16T07:28:02.040-08:00How bout your feet?

I think people that climb 5.14 make that kind of money because most don't have a lifespan long enough to make anything more than that. I'd imagine you'd have to climb all the time to get that good. It's hard to find a full time job that requires that. It is nice to watch those movies of people fly fishing all over the world. Most of those people don't look like they are married. I wouldn't trade my wife and family for some good fishing.Kevin Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17816824282816730471noreply@blogger.com
