Where To Fish Feb 20-22

[budman]

I will be in Ponca Feb 20-22 and am looking for an area to walk in and fish. I have never fish this part of the Buffalo, have only fish the mid to lower parts. What would the water and fishing be like now. I know the snow melt will put a lot of cold water into the river but will a big warm up and sunshine I was hoping to get some fishing in. Can anyone help with where to fish and any tips?

sorry to say i don't think you'll have any luck at all that upper 20 some miles of river.it has been dry since june! and just got a small amount of water in it as of a few weeks ago . the smallies get winter lock jaw until that water temp comes up to the mid 40's . sorry for the bad news! ....you could scout steel creek go to the end of the camp ground past the bathrooms and each table has a trail leading down to the river .

Use small white jigs or the smallest white road runner you can find, fish slow and the head of the holes, slow and deep will catch fish.
