In like a lion…..
The fishing continues to be a bit more challenging than we would like, but that’s pretty typical for this time of year. Most of the holdover fish in the system have learned that not everything is safe to eat…The new chrome fish that are in the system are much easier to catch. We have been floatfishing for the most part, covering tons of water and grinding out a few fish every time out. Look for things to change quickly in the next week as we are heading for a warm up.
I still have some open dates if you are looking for a day on the water.
Almost March!
Things on the river remain about the same, its late winter and the fish can be moody from day to day. One day the bite seems great, the next you have to work hard and present your offerings perfectly to get bit. It has proven effective to keep changing your offering until you find what they are looking for. Both size and colors are important. I have a feeling we are going to see an early spring, I’ve seen both robins and red wing blackbirds in my yard already. A few chrome hens are also present.
Look for things to pick up in the next week or so….longer, warmer days equal more fish movement. I still have a few days available if you are looking for a spring trip.
Just time for a quick update…..
The last few trips on the rivers proved to be challenging, more like marathon fishing than a 100yard dash. We have been grinding out our hookups each day, this is the time of the year where weather fronts and water temps can play a role, as well as fishing pressure. The biggest key has been fishing near structure and changing baits until you find the color / size that catches their eye. For us its been very dull drab colored beads in various sizes. As well as very small spawn bags.
Spring is right around the corner, its time to get those spring trips locked in before the dates are filled up.
