Where warm clothes?

​The water froze on our lines as we retrieved each cast causing icicles to form in the eyes on the rods.  They in turn caused the line to cast at a 90-degree angle is not cleared before casting the next time.  Hilarious to see.  I thought that I had captured the phenomenon but sadly the wind and cold resulted in a blur.

Obviously, our conclusion, Beat 1 has been "overfed" recently by the visiting and local fishermen on the river.  No knocks despite fishing with roach and lure, but a good time was had . The sun shone brilliantly on the other side of the river creating beautiful colours.  

We were tucked low on the river bank to the farthest point, out of the wind.  We could hear the wind howling above us and see the effect of it on the river.  There was a reverse current coming up the river; amazing the force.  

Much river weed and twigs were cleared.  I "cleverly" caught a mussel shell atop my roach.

Onward and upward until next week.
