I fish winter-summer.

But stay off the river this week when the water is at 18 feet unless you have to be out there to secure life/limb. Stay off Elkhorn Creek in very high water unless you are familiar with class III white water.

Windy days are ok to a point, If its gusting 50-60 mph and sustained winds in excess of 30 mph you may want to reconsider especially if you are in a small boat.

Otherwise prepare for severe conditions. Warm clothes and spare dry clothes, PFD, lights, communication vhf/cell, float plan.
