Dress Properly For Winter Kayaking

While fishing on the kayak, most people find themselves in some cold early mornings or some serious mid-day heat, however some hardcore anglers fish all year long and find themselves in some of the harsher winter conditions and need to take extra precautions.

Every season in fishing has a certain magic temperature or weather associated with it. The fall kicks off with that first cool front. Winter sets in around mid December with water temperatures falling into the 50s or much lower depending upon your region of the country, cold rains, snow, ice, north winds, and grey skies.

Graham County’s Snowbird Creek Has It All

Snowbird Creek, and its main tributary Big Snowbird Creek, are places fly anglers could spend days exploring and still leave water untouched.
