hit da Riva this am in search of a saturday morning toothy. had to stop fishing after 15 minutes because my line guides were freezing solid. what's the trick?

Mono line holds less water.
Replace the top guide with a larger diameter loop.
Some guys spray the guides with WD-40
Move to Florida

Couple of tricks , if your a hardcore winter angler larger guides help, but couPle of tricks diP tip section prior to cast! Other you can " lightly" coat guides with vasline or obtain a pure silicone spray & hit em' with that!
The braid does not absorb water like mono so coating guides as noted will keep em' ice free !
Even if you use mono this will help!

Chap stick works fine for that. If you are like me you carry it all winter anyway.
