That is real dedication and passion for your sport.

I remember when I was young and got my first tinny, I would fish in rain, wind, night all kind of weather. Now days I like warmth, dry, light and comfort.

I can't remember if I caught more fish then or now, but what I do know is that i am more comfortable and dry now.

WOW unreal conditions , a bottle of rum would be a must there great work guys you are way keener than me i cant stand the cold ...matt

[Liberty]

Oh that's plain nuts. At least in the US Midwest, they icefish in huts, not out in the open!

[reel scream]

After a bad trip I have thought about golf instead. But seeing that weather I would have to take up Bar hoping at strip joints!!!

[PinHead]

bloody hell..I have never even seen snow let alone fish in the stuff..that would be like sitting in your freezer and fishing. I will never complain about a winter overnighter ever again.

[FireFly]

Hey Karl...reckon you guys are crazy man!

What kind of fishing line do you use...doesn't it go brittle at those very low temperatures?

[death_ship]

at least the beer wont go hot

[Karl Inge]

Both mono and multi lines get problems when you near 20 below, but its not that cold- at least not in the daytime. Its more of a problem that the saltwater freeze in your rod-rings, on your reel etc blocking the line.

Dont know if you guys saw the vids in my other thread, so here they are anyway:

The beer gets slushy, need at least 20% alcohol :) The French Table-wine called "cognaq" will do if we dont have som real Norwegian booze available.

[upstart]

I've got the same Plano tackle box!! What a small world.

[Liberty]

Its more of a problem that the saltwater freezen in your ring ...

Yeah I've heard that too ... ;-)

[Karl Inge]

Hehe, I refrased that a bit, my english aint that good :)

[Angla]

I must admit that I have fished the snowy river on a morning when the grass was brittle and you could land a worm on the iced over water, then drag it into the flowing water. Caught three nice trout that morning. I did not have a blizzard to contend with though.

It's refreshing to say the least and you know you are alive when you see the great outdoors in a pristine way

Cheers
