You could do a lot of things in the colder months. You could hang up your waders and opt for a soft couch, a warm blanket, and a hot cup of coffee. Fly fishing can wait, right?

Well, not for everyone. If you're among the hardy souls who just have to be on the river regardless of the season, you're going to have to deal with the unique challenges of fly fishing in frigid water and below-freezing air temperatures. It's tough out there in the winter!

In this episode, Ross sets the stage for Season 2 by walking through the challenges of winter fly fishing--and talking about the reasons those challenges make it worth your while to get outside and make some tracks in the snow.
