Fishing in the snow

I had a little time off this week and couldn't wait any longer to put my line in the water. I got everything ready and went to bed for the night. The next morning I woke up to a snow covered deck (very uncharacteristic for Georgia). But this wasn't about to stop me. I put on my under armour snow ski gear then put on my chest waders and went to Amicalola Creek. I thought the snow was all over when the sun came out (I hate cold weather), but I was wrong. Standing on the creek bank, the clouds rolled in and the snow started lightly falling again. I spent about an hour and a half fishing, which was about all I could handle, and had three rainbow trout, and one brook trout big enough to eat in my basket.
It was very cold and not ideal fishing conditions, but there is never a bad day of fishing. And we got a delicious, healthy dinner out of it. Looking forward to going back next week when it will be 65 degrees.
