Temperatures at Wister and SJ during season
- Thread starter Kbird22
- Start date
I've seen temperatures out a twister at + 100 degrees on opening day weekend. Temperatures at SJ on opening weekend highs of 90-95. I seen temperatures at SJ cold enough to forum ice over night on some of the larger pond. Temperatures range from one extreme to the other it seems like. Good luck with the revamp of your gear.
I rarely wear much more than a good camo hoodie layered with a fleece turtle neck, and cotton tee at either location...A good choice is a quad jacket...Liner can be zipped out and the shell is plenty warm enough for the colder morning...Water proof too.
ps...Leafy over a t-shirt as well.

Valley temps are fun.. opener can be in the 90s and closer in January it can be high 20s at dawn then warm up to t-shirt weather. Breathable waders are the standard, then lay over that as it gets colder.

Lowest I saw San Jac was 18 degrees driving out on the car temp gauge. Ice on all water. Highest, over 100 at San Jac one time. Wister, hot all the time when there's no wind in my opinion. After the time change mornings can be a little chilly, but usually warms up in the afternoon.

The early season at Wister can be brutal. Need to be off the pond by 9-10 otherwise you are burning up. Usually will have 1 week of extreme cold between thanksgiving and christmas but will warm up quick when the sun comes up
there has been times when I use to hike to much, and I was deep in wicked high chaparral I use to ask my self , I need to fish more, it's a lot easier.Lee,
