Fly line icing - leaky - 12-11-2005
Tried to do a little fishing on the Web. yesterday but had to give up after a very short time. Ended up throwing a rope. [
] Had to quit for other reasons too (forgot some important equip.) but If I tried to continue I realized I was going to have a very tough time nymph fishing. Water was high, fast, and floating ice.Is there any particular product on the market that helps or solves this problem? Any help will allow me to try again soon.

Some suggestions mentioned on another thread: 1)If your nymphing keep the top portion of your rod in the water during the drift. 2) Chapstick or gink applied to the guides. 3) WD40 or cooking spray on the guides (use old line). 4) My own suggestion is wait till the february midge hatches start coming off on balmy afternoons (above 35 f) and ice fish or tie flies in the mean time[

I can deal with the freeze up on the lines , it is the waders that freeze solid before you can get back in the truck . [
