Quote(s) of the Day: What a great new section of water.

Fishing Highlights:

The coldest day of the season made for some great fishing. Most of today was spent site fishing and nymphing the deep, slow slots with great success. The egg bite is picking up with more and more spawning browns in the river.

The fishing is great.  Partly Cloudy skies and 40-43 degree weather. The water temperature was between 40-43 degrees and Crystal Clear.
