This time of year even the rivers are frozen in MA! I guess ice/fly fishing might be OK for target practice, eh? :) At least you can still go.. This time of year even the rivers are frozen in MA!

I went o the special place and really struggled with the bugs, only catching 2 grayling of around a pound, poor for this river. However, my buddy had 3 lovely fish , all over 1.5 lbs, all on the sweetcorn. I reckon the fish were pre-occupied with the large amount of salmon eggs in the beat and only the sugary, protein rich sweetcorn could lure them away from feasting on the eggs, not sure but thisis just a theory. Also , it was very cold, never really getting above freezing all day, so the amount of energy required to move to the fly was disproportinate to the caorfic value of the nymphs that my flees were imitating. So, i have to admit that there are times when the sweetcorn or any other bait will outfish the flee , even in almost perfect conditions Had the first proper grayling session of the season on Sunday.
