Air Temp: 19*F- 30*F
Moderate Intermittent Winds

Fished the Trophy Trout stretch
Attempting to teach myself European Nymphing techniques.
Managed two to hand, including a strong fighting 14" Brown (Felt great on my 10ft 3 wt.
Missed several others while attempting to "read" my sighter, and acheive a proper drift in the wind.
Both my scud, and midge pattern produced. I did see some suface activity, appearing to be small midges when the sun started to warm things up.
All and all, a pretty enjoyable day on the water, despite icy fingers and somewhat windy conditions.
