With the warmer conditions, the river will increase in flow from time to time bringing all the fish out of their hiding spots. Fishing is good using Chonomids, emergers, egg pattern, glass duck, and small pheasant tails.
Eagle Nest Lake: As of Sunday, the ice was reported as being between 9 and
10 inches thick and the lake was open to foot traffic only. Fishing was good
