    Frozen Lines and Warm Waters
    Feb 15 2025

    In this chilling episode of Terrible at Fishing, host Michael Rafino takes listeners on a frosty adventure as he attempts warm water fishing in subzero temperatures at Bonanza Springs Park. Battling negative 11-degree weather, frozen fingertips, and stubborn fish, Michael shares his unforgettable (and slightly regrettable) experience fishing in the steaming hot springs while trudging through deep snow and icy mud.

    Despite the brutal cold and a skunked fishing trip, he finds solace in good company, a warm meal, and the excitement of upcoming fishing events. He also discusses the latest local fishing reports, the impact of dam removals on salmon and steelhead migration, and details on the much-anticipated Lake of the Woods Ice Fishing Derby.

    Tune in for a mix of humor, hard-learned lessons, and all the latest in the fishing world—plus a few restaurant recommendations along the way. Don't miss it!
