I wear crampons and carry a walking stick, I'm also careful about shelf ice.
I'll fucking Wade right out to the center of the mousam on a cold February day to catch sweet sweet sea run browns.
I find it's the most productive season for trout fishing, also you don't have to put up with tourists, and spin fish fags.
Pic related is from like 2015.
Also to Wade in the rivers here during the winter you have to not be a little bitch about the cold.
