So this is winter

Christmas time. Busy time. It is very hard to take day off. But what to do if I can't resist without fishing more than a week? And it has been almost three weeks since last trip. Winter in Ireland still continues. Radio annoucements talk about bad road conditions. Black ice is the biggest threat at the moment. But last Tuesday I had day off, so decided to go fishing. Trip was not to long, 120 miles only. Normally it takes me up to two hours, but in these conditions has increased to nearly five. But it was worth it, for the stunning views mainly.

First look at the river

The sun slowly began to break through the forest behind

To play along with the mist in a wonderful performance

In the end, however,  it's time to wet the line

...and catch something

I didn't get any specimen this time, but I think it was succesful session anyway, despite to heavy winter  conditions and very low water temperature.
Couple hours after,  I changed location...

Where I saw an intresting view of  freshwater fleet in a winter sleep

while some Cruisers where still in operation

I wonder how they do the  trick with this :)

 The end :)
