I can barely hold out here in winter, never mind the thought of having to chip ice off my boat...not for me, thanks!! :?

Ya pass on this! Shooting across Albert Falls dam at 75km/hour in winter is way cold enough for me? anything colder than that and I?m out!

I was fly fishing in Belfas a couple of years ago and gave up for the day when my fly line froze to the eyes of my rod 8O

Had that happen to me too Robdog...I wondered why the line wasn't passing easily through the guides, and then realised the holes were getting smaller and smaller (with ice)...also thought that was enough for the day!!

it gets so cold in the winter that you can snap your hosepipe like a twig. you have to leave a heater under your diesel's engine if you want it to start 8O

Heat or cold I will fish although knocking ice of the boat seems a bit extreme for me..

No argument on winter fishing is better? but at least in KZN (well Inanda anyway) we don?t get the really cold like you poor buggers in Gauteng? not to mention you even poorer buggers in Holland and UK! ;-)
