Fishing on a chilly winter weather

It was bloody cold today.

My fingers and toes were gone numb while I was fishing in the late afternoon.

I was getting many bites, but fish were really committing to grab my fly.  May be they were feeling cold too.  I also missed chances because my fingers were dead cold and I was too slow to react.

I got two fish in the end just before the sun hit the horizon.  I was still getting hits here an there, but it became just too freezing to be in the water, so I left.  I love fishing but it's not worth loosing fingers with frostbite.
