Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice with open water where flows are faster. Flows appear to be increasing with the warmer weather melting some of the snowpack. Shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. Access is iffy to many of these waters so leave a trip plan and be prepared to spend the night. With colder water temperatures expect stream fishing to be slow. Fish the deeper pools and slower water (if open) where the fish hang out this time of year to conserve energy. As of February 11, The East Fork of the Owyhee River near Mountain City was showing ice but expect flowsbetween 30 and 35 cfs.
