Great reports from all anglers. Anglers are out on a daily basis too. Many nimpers, some swingers, and an occasional dry fly Nazi’s.
Cabins all full for the week, yet open for the weekend. Yep, fully booked here in this month of January. Our local winter discounted lodging is rocking. Why not. Stay at Joe’s way past your bedtime and waltz home 100yards to your cozy Craig cabin.
The weekend is open…you in?
Nice weather coming, on the horizon. Today sun. Tomorrow sun. Saturday sun with hi’s near 50F. Huh! Yes, it is time to wet a line in the new year. If you are so inclined.

Lots of traffic today so far. Great feel to the spring, late winter, wait…winter. Still winter. These glimpses of the sun go a long way in shortening and improving our winter psyche here in the shop.
A phone in each ear keeps you warm…fer sure.
Flows are holding at the 3K winter range and water temps are in the 34F+ area. Not much movement on either of those figures. Standard.
