Water: frozen over
Hatches: none

Comments: My hands are itching for the feel of cork and my dreams are filled with thoughts of steelhead bowing my rod to the shape of a you. Fishing season is only weeks away and I can't wait. I crossed the river at the highway 13 and county road FF bridges, and despite the extreme warm weather only noticed open water in a few quaint nooks and crannys in the riffles. However the ice looks weak and seems to be ready to disperse any day.
