That didn t stop Larry Meyer from wading into the frigid water for a day of fly-fishing. It was, after all, his 60th birthday, nasty weather be damned. “It breaks up the winter and gets you ready for spring,” shouted Meyer, of Palmer Lake, to this reporter, who stood — drier and warmer, but far from toasty — on the dry bank. “It s a way to get out John Kleis shows the many flies he may use while fly fishing on the Arkansas River. and enjoy nature and get away from things.” of anglers fish year-round. “It s a warmer.
