Fishing Locations

The mornings are a bit chunky with some ice flow, wait until afternoon to head to the river. If you have been out lately and haven't had much success, don't worry. This is a tough time to fish a freestone. When you get downstream of Moose Creek you begin to have more ice forming during the night. If you wait till the afternoon the conditions will improve. The valley sections above Cameron Bridge will also have minimal ice flow at this time of day. The nymph rod is the one to put in the car. Dark stonefly nymphs with midge and mayfly nymphs are working. A warmer forcast isn't too far out. When it gets here there will most likely be enough snowmelt to provide some good action on worms.
