Winter Holding On

With the opening of trout season just around the corner, the cold just wont go away. We expect by opening day things will be better but this will be a slow start to the season. The rivers are starting to full up - high water - and the melt (the little we have had) is on and off with above freezing in the day and then freezing again at night. We need a string of days with above freezing temps, day and night, to really get things going.
So if you are planning an opening day trip (who isn't) think about letting the river warm up as much as possible; start about 2:00 PM in the afternoon. The word for the day will be droppers / nymphs.
