It’s Cold Out, So Get Out

As we put the holidays in the rear view mirror many of us begin to wish we had a flight booked to the Bahamas. Snow and freezing temps get to the best of us. Before you know it days or weeks can slip by without getting out. It’s great to spend time behind the vice, watching football, drinking scotch, relaxing by the fire, or some combination of the lot, but it’s also a great time of year to get out.

While the crowds are cooped up at home the rivers and uplands await. Late season birds might be wily, but with enough snow sometimes they hold a little tighter. On the water, ice in the guides becomes the norm, but fish are still there. With a little coaxing they are willing to eat. In any case the solitude of winter provides excellent opportunities to hunt or fish for those willing to make the effort.
