Teeners and Cold Weather, I am beginning to sense a pattern.... Options

Hello to everyone, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

Well merely conjecture, but the few times I have encountered cold weather, I have had odd operation out of my car, in some way or other....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)


I was just in Marble Canyon, Arizona for some fishing and it was cold there, got down to about twenty degrees F.

I went out in the morning to pop the front trunk to retrive Laurie's "cold weather gear" and at first it would not function.
I had just recently adjusted it and it is "set up" just right.
I found that if I pulled and held the cable for a moment, it would function fine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

I also had my speedometer make a "really cool grinding noise" during our twenty minute drive down to the Colorado River in the morning, but, once it was time to leave and nearly fourty degrees warmer, it functioned fine.


Well my question is what are some common "cold weather maladies" some of you must endure with your teener?
I do realize many are put away for winter.

What is the coldest weather you have ever operated your teener in?

P.S. If one had no impeller fan running on a MOVING type four car, and it were cold enough, could it ever be cold enough to operate the car without damaging the engine?

How cold?

The word is that Lake Powell above the dam (Glen Canyon) got so low this year that water was drawn from a warmer thermocline (sp?) this year resulting in high Colorado River water temps, 60 degrees F. as opposed to a usual 47 degrees F. . The annual spawn had not started yet and is normally in full swing at this time. I love to take out-of-town guests there as it is such a beautiful place that if one ends up with good fishing it is only a bonus. John P.S. We took a guided trip up river this time.....

Trout do not like it that warm, that's for sure.

I have read about Lee's Ferry, but do not know much about what hatches there and when? Were there any hatches at this time of year or were you nymphing?

I have read stories of football sized trout being pulled out of there. I need to get out there sometime.
