So the temps look like they're going to be reasonable the next couple of days but the wind's going to be a bear. I really need to get the yak out on some water and was thinking that the rivers might be a better bet than the ponds right now, mostly because the trees will serve as a wind break. The rivers are probably also a bit warmer too. Any thoughts?

the charles is moving at a good clip so be mindful of that. it might not be as bad as a few weeks ago but it was moving pretty good. the water was low too. i guess it might depend on where but if you go, stay safe.

The water in the Charles was low??? In Dedham the water is extremely high, has been since late fall, many low lying areas are flooded. Ditto with the Neponset. So the tradeoff will be current or wind. Decisions, decisions.

Yeah, I don't think the rivers would be a good choice right now. As stated the water levels are pretty high and there would also be quite a bit of debris from the storms. I've also noticed a lot of trees that have been uprooted from all the wind and trees bent way over from all the wet snow Exclamation Seems like a lot of potential to get into trouble with the yak Exclamation

i was at a dedham stretch but it was weeks ago. right when stuff started melting which was why the current was ripping. it might have been that specific stretch but it seemed low. i guess if it was definitely high....not to self, don't go to that section again hahaa

i would find a smaller pond that will be covered by trees to block the wind and fish the side that is most shielded so that way you dont have to deal with a lot of current of very much wind.
