Fishing Locations

 Not much has changed over the last week. We are still having air temps below zero at night. This morning there is some chunk ice flowing. This weather should be breaking soon for more pleasurable fishing temps. The past weeks weather has locked up the slow moving sections of river but what is open has very little slush ice at the moment. The faster water that is open is fishing. Target the tailout of a fast riffle. Rainbows like to hang in the top end of the tailouts this time of year. As you work downstream in the tailout you may find some of the Browns. They prefer to sit in the slower parts of the tailout behind the Rainbows. The shelf ice is solid for hiking on top of but if the weather begins to warm you need to use caution.
