There's darn few parts of this country where you can't collect fish nearly
year round... with the appropriate safety precautions. I used to fish the
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario tribs for steelhead every winter (January in
Buffalo- Brrrr!), and often took a seine or shocker along to get sculpins
and other fish while I was there. One memorable afternoon involved breaking
through ice in a pool, seining up a huge leaf pack, and discovering that
THAT's where a lot of fish go during the winter- especially juv. suckers and
cyprinids. That one leaf pack must have had 1000 redside dace in it- utterly
awesome.
Of course, you REALLY need neoprene waders to do this... ;)
cheers,
Dave
