Weather:

Brutally cold first thing with an upstream north east wind. Warming up into the afternoon to become a really nice period on the river with a gentler breeze and sunny spells.

Manager’s Comments:

Well, we’re still waiting! Well mended kelts continue to pour out of the river and the buds are yet to open. Charlie M and Jake C fished Waterfall and saw a couple of fresh fish running, but didn’t make contact. Alan and Eric fished Lyliok and Crow’s Nest landing an ice fish fish of 10lbs and some huge kelts. The water temp is up a degree as I write this so here’s hoping the fish begin to push into the river as of now.

Important to note that spirits are high, plenty of fun is being had and all the fishers understand that we are on the brink of seeing some huge fresh fish roll in.…
