The heavens have answered us with abundant snow since early November. Dogpatch is doing a jig and praying for it to continue through the winter. Also, the snowpack is currently above average for this time of year, very very positive sign. The USac is going up and is north of 1300 cfs which is the first flush in a very long time. She has gone into her winter hibernation mode and accessing it requires snow shoes or ski mobile from Sims upstream, below that expect high water fishing. The water is cold so if you want to hook a fish you probably have to tap them on the nose. The McCloud River is currently snowed in too so forget any idea of fishing it, its recess time. We all deserve a good winter and so does the rivers so cool your jets if you are thinking about fishing right now or if you are driven be cautious out there. In the mean time enjoy your Christmas holiday. The shop is open for your holiday needs so pop in and give Bob some well deserved business or just give him a call and he can help you out with a gift certificate or shipping a gift.
If you have any further questions give Bob a shout at the shop or just stop in and bug him next time in the area.
Cheers
