MN C&R Stream Trout Season Must be Open!

Welcome back D.A.!

Did the first cast feel as good as the last one from 08?

I had a nice time on the first outing. I only fsihed for a few hours, as the weather never got aboeve 27 degrees. I had to pick ice out of my guides now and again, but it was a nice day and I caught some trout. It takes a special breed of person to sit on a slab of ice and pull fish through it, just as it does to have someone stand in a free flowing stream in sub 30 degree weather .

Regards,
D.A.

Builds character?

Have you been around whitewater lately? seems the water in lower then normal this time of year? A lot of spots that we hit this time last year are too shallow to even hold fish.

Go back today. I think you’d see quite a volume of water with the snow melt. If I were to offer a guess, I’d say the cold weather in January and lack of melt probably didn’t help stream levels.

Just a guess,
D.A.
