Fishing Locations

 Since Thanksgiving Day there has been some slush flowing but this is going to change fast. We are going to have a much warmer week ahead, this will most likely put some snowmelt into the river. With the fresh green water flowing into the river there will be some tube worms that get flushed out of the banks. A weighted worm pattern will keep you down in the deeper runs where fish are beginning to hold for winter. The weather may bring some midge hatches. Their nymphs and emergers fished higher in the water column may be better than the dry fly. This will also be a good week to get some of the last/best steamer fishing. The valley sections will probably be the best for streamers.
