The drive in to one spot was solid mud & ruts. The last few trips the fish have been clustered tight in small shallow spots you'd never guess would hold a fish. Lots of snow flies hatching and on the banks.billphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321627853004175813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-76492398715757798852019-01-26T09:25:14.739-05:002019-01-26T09:25:14.739-05:00Alan
