Fishing Locations

 The rivers conditions have been steady. The cold nights are keeping the snow that fell up in the mountains. Nymphing has been the most consistent method of fishing as long as you don't mind catching whitefish as well. A big, darker colored pats rubberlegs with a smaller pheasant tail dropper has been a good rig lately Don't be afraid to add weight until you find where the fish are holding. Dead drifting and slow stripping streamers has also been productive with the colder, cloudy weather. Don't bother getting out early this way, the afternoon hours are going to yield the most productive fishing as we have seen some sporadic baetis and midge hatches.
