Last Friday, I had one of the most uncomfortable day's fishing so far in my fishing journey. It was cold and wet in the afternoon, but it was not that cold. I have not fished much during the cold weather, this past few months, and when I have it has been sunny and reasonably 'warm'. Last year, and previous years, I went fishing and just wrapped up - no problem.
Since then, on doctor's orders, I have made a big effort to lose weight. This I did and in under a year have lost a considerable amount of weight and six inches off my waist line. From a health point of view, I am much happier and the Doctor is full of praise. I am not sure why, as I only did what he advised me to do - seems that a lot of people don't! That aside, the big down side is I now feel the cold much more than I ever did before. I got so cold on Friday, it spoilt my day and I packed it in early.
Has anybody else found this happen to them? Do you slimmer guys feel to cold more, or is it just me? I was well wrapped up, wearing far more cloths than I have done in the past. It really was not that cold, but I was really feeling it.
The fishing was not great, either and if you are interested, you can read the story of the day on my blog. I think I will have to stay away from sitting on the bank for hours on end in future and stick to short sessions or roving the rivers.
