You’ll find a little ice forming periodically — not enough to walk on, just enough to disrupt an early morning trip. If you can get out and fish, try salmon eggs under a bobber or cast a gold Kastmaster near the dam.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
