For the beginners out there or anyone new to an area they are now fishing, a good thing to do during the winter (well may be not today as the high is supposed to be at 12 here in central PA) is to scout the water you fish. This time in the winter is perfect for two reasons.
First, the water is low and clear. you can locate the structure and holes better and learn where to fish later in the year- and know what snags and structure to avoid
Second, the lack of foliage makes it a lot easier to see the river/stream. You can see more and even locate new areas and access points from the road that are normally obscured.
if hunting is ongoing in the area, watch out and dress in bright clothes
