Warmer days ahead…

The river is in good shape with flows around 120 CFs and temps from 39-41 F. A lucky angler found a half dozen willing fish Saturday on bead heads and soft hackles, (thanks for your report Dick!)It should be warm enough for some dries this week, so dig out your little black stoneflies and fish them in riffles. Skating them down and across midday on a tight line is sure to add a little excitement to your winter fishing. If you’re starting earlier try a red butt and bead head prince rig well before lunch. Ready for a walk? Give the Falls Rd stretch a go and bring a few “snowflies” with you. These are best fished in sunny pools and flats, be sure to bring a long leader,(12 ft 6x) and a wading staff.
