So I occasionally like to fish the open spots on the local river in the winter.  The last few times I have done this I lost some very nice fish because the line was frozen solid in the guides.   I have tried dipping, Pam, and even a couple of commercially made products but still the ice forms at the most inopportune times.  So far dipping works the best but the effects are short lived, especially if I have a long drift and there is spray coming of the drops and rapids.

So what have others found that works?

Keith

For one thing I don't do winter fishing.  But as you said dipping the rod seems to work best.  I have had to do it in the early spring over at Alton Bay.  I have herd that Armoral does a good job, but I have never done it.

See Yah
Thanks

I was wondering how mucilin might work. I put the boo away for the winter. Guess I should bring out the graphite and try it out

Just read mucilin works best. Use the green label brand
