I've used Pam cooking spray on my skis to keep the ice grab and snow
accumulation to minimum. If one could get me out to fish when the
water was freezing on my guides, I'd try it on them. Faint hope
anyone could do that, though. I have no idea what effect it would
have on the fly line, so it might be a good idea to try it on an old
piece of line first.

The neat thing about cold weather is that few other people are dumb enough
to be out there. And if there's been a fresh snowfall, it can be a really
ethereal experience.

Doesn't Pam have corn starch or flour or something in it?

I've heard ChapStick works but haven't tried it.

I'm wondering if soap will work - saddle soap, maybe.
I have a little tube of lanolin that I use instead of chapstick. Stinks a
bit but is sovereign for chapped lips. Could be something else to try.
Anyhow, maybe this weekend . . .

Gorgeous. But there are still overcrowded places. And some you'd
think would be full up that are trackless. Very odd.

The one for baking cakes and stuff does. The one for frying,
roasting, and saute'ing doesn't seem to. I don't know for sure,
because I was keeping the frying one in the vehicle for possible use,
if I ever skied again and then tossed it when I inherited a newer car.

I no longer go out in the cold. It was a very brief number of years
when I tried the skiing and snowshoeing thing.

Questions:
Will anything slow down the ice build-up?

Periodically dunk your rod in the water. That should clear the ice from
the guides.



Warming up the apparatus by putting
it in the water may be a better idea.

until you remove it, perhaps...
