Hardcore! What sort of temperature is the water you're fishing?

Thanks to you all!

Its around 2-4 degrees, so not to bad. The fish is really in a good condition, perhaps due to lots of the small scrimp (Krill). The cold is really not a problem except for fingers.

We've found that for flyfishing in very cold conditions, the best solution is a pair of thin merino wool gloves inside a pair of nitrile gloves (the kind you use in a lab). Allows you to feel the line and keep dry/warm at the same time. Way better than neoprene gloves (or no gloves at all).

Thanks for info.

Havent tried that. Neoprene are no good. They dont get wet inside during a day? I have used Zealskin since they breathe, but their really not durable.

Yes, at some stage they get moist from perspiration - it's a good idea to bring two pairs for a day of fishing.

Just another scenery shoots. Muck krill, but no fish this time.

Brilliant shot Alf, couldn't ask for a better spot to cast from to make a real eye opener photo.

Hello Alf...

I must have stared at your pic for minutes at a time, many times over - just cannot grasp the conditions you fish in. WOW actually. For me this is an amazing picture - you sitting on an iceblock with a fly rod in hand, snow falling, and to top it off, right next to the sea :ninja . (Contrasted with shorts, warm sunshine, sea spray and a warm ocean of 24-28 Deg C :p )

Great going Alf. Hope the fish keep biting. BTW, what fly are you using to imitate the Krill?

Stay Warm
