River Ice

[Billfish715]

These are a few pictures I took last week along the South Branch. The rivers are low and ice covered around the edges and shallow or slow areas. There is open water but access is limited for the most part. Parking along the roads is almost non existent because of the snow. The smaller streams are about the same but some very popular stretches were frozen. It's always great to be out but be careful. The trout stocked waters close pretty soon so if you gotta go, pick a warm day when your guides won't freeze. Don't be disappointed if some of your favorite pools are frozen or the open water is very shallow. Or, cure your Jones's at the Outdoor Show in Suffern, N.Y. this weekend.
