Stoked for my first trip tomorrow. Finally get to fish my pin after waiting for warranty on my rod during the fall. Most difficult decision is where to start first tomorrow morning

From just above the Crossing and then down, dress warmly as it will be very chilly first thing as well the NE wind will be blowing in the Lower. I am going to start much later when everyone is frozen and gone home. ;D ;D

Hope you get one on your outing, you will enjoy the pin I am sure.

I will definately be bundled up for the chilly day. Get to enjoy my islander and retire my super silex :D
Thanks for the well wishes

It was really nasty with that wind yesterday, but there still seemed to be no lack of people out on the river. You'd almost think there were still coho in for the amount of guys out. ;)

I was thinking about heading out tomorrow before the snow starts to fly. Does any one have a water condition report from today?

River has come down and the water a nice green colour. It was freezing cold today. Had my eyelets filling with ice and had my reel freeze up. I didn't see anyone else on the river until after 9am and even so very few anglers. It's slippery out there so be careful, I'll post a photo of the river from the crossing when I get a chance

Pouring rain now. If the river is not out now one would think it will be soon.
