Watch the bonneville counts and wait a few days once the numbers ramp up.

Good day of fishing. We released two others to make it a day. Can't wait for the river to open back up.

Post by: Deer slayer on March 08, 2013, 09:49:24 PM: I should say that we thought we would limit. After releasing the next two the bite went off and we ended with three. Did that twice this year.

It can be. Just have to know the river. I fish it a couple times a week from June through September. Do you have a boat?

Do you fish the upper river? I don't know that I have seen you before. What's the name of the business you guide for?

I can't wait for June. I daydream about rowing it everyday. It's a beautiful and fun river.
