Way to go! I envy the Guys that can fish in that Mountain Man whether! Gonna try it one day.
what color was best?

I've seen pictures of Larry, T-Bone and Doug using their boats as ice breakers to move to open spots! I generally don't mind the cold, but can't seem to keep my hands warm, even using the 10 hour handwarmers. Once they're wet, I'm toast.

Knowing East Fork and the conditions, bet the jig had some chartreuse in it.
