PowellBride, you need to make a trip to Flaming Gorge in the winter time to see some real hardcoreā¦..idiots



. I donāt want to hijack the thread, but I think during this time of the year, itās all good.
A handful of times, I was one of the idiots. The low was supposed to be around zero degeees, but when we arrived at the lake it was -16. A buddy of mine broke the ice up at the boat ramp so the rest of us could launch. When I launched, my steering was locked up. Another boat was sitting at the dock not able to start. About 3 of us in the bay just started laughing at eachother and yelling āwhat the hell are we doing!ā A great memory on a miserable day. I donāt think I even caught a fish! Hereās a pic from that day. You can see the ice in the background on the inside of the breaker wall.
Oh, and due to the cold temps and people launching, the boat ramp was a sheet of ice. I had to chain up to get off the ramp. Quite an adventureā¦
