Fishing this weekend was good winter fishing.Fish are feeding well when the water warms up (9-10 am) and even rising around noon. They slow down once snow melt drops the water temperatures a but (2-3 pm). But fishing is good between those times.
Much warmer today and over the next few days which will melt even more bankside snow. Walking is not impossible, but still annoying in spots.
Fish are eating midges on the surface at noon. Sub surface they are eating small thin bodied patterns in black, scuds, and leeches.
