Ugly it is, some wet snow falling at higher elevations.

It has cooled down this afternoon so I believe it should be fishable some time tomorrow, when will be a toss up.

Well it didn't really rain all night as far as I can tell.  Just a little snow, as it cooled down to 1 degree.   The graph is on the drop, not a lot yet tho.  I'm heading out in a couple mins to have a look... I'll update when I get back. :)

Water conditions good, took the day off from fishing. Reports I got today from most anglers fishing slow the last couple of days.

Condition again top notch today. Had a fish tear the roe bag apart, would not come back.  ??? Maybe he or she will still be in the run and I will give it another try after lunch.

Water was still holding when I looked a couple of hours ago, was miserable out there with the rain we had for a good part of the day. I felt more miserable by breaking off my third fish of the year  ??? ::), felt like a  good sized one too but of course the ones that get away are always big. ;D

I think I better get away from my 8 pound test leaders, especially when I have a nick in the one today. :-X :-[
