Still open water I see, was wondering if that area might be getting close to ice up.

I caught my first one out of there earlier this year. Sure aren't many left now but still the odd one.

Have you ever considered flipping the bearing in your fly reels so the line comes off the spool properly for your left hand retrieve?

Ya, I don't get it either...lines and reels weren't designed to be used that way. I'd be worried about unnecessary wear to the line catching the top of the reel constantly. Not to mention the awkwardness of pulling line off the reel when casting, etc. Regardless, to each their own. Nice trout.
