It's quite possible to fish many streams in Colorado during the winter. They
only freeze up during extended periods of very cold weather, and we tend to
get alternating cold and warm.

I would think that some kind of water repellant coating would help a lot
with line icing. Maybe a thin coat of wax all up and down the line. You
would have to use a heavy fly for wet fly presentations, but it should
reduce ice up from the line lifting a small amount of water up into the
subfreezing air.
