As the Winter continues the challenge to find open water grows-temps this past week were well below zero @ night, so even more rivers have become unfishable.  Steelhead and Trout are present, but they are safe for the time being hiding under ice!  On a positive note, it is currently 30 degrees outside which should help possibly break up some of the ice.  Winter is a great time of the year to get out on the water, virtually no one ventures far from easy access areas and you can find yourself breaking trail on section of water that hasn’t been fished since Fall.  You may break a sweat as you post hole through 4 feet of snow, but it sure beats vegetating on the lazy boy.  Please check out our 2009 newsletter, good dates open for each outing-free pastie if you book this week!
