Wisconsin Catch And Release, Opening Weekend

[West Fork Jason]

I left Arkansas a little over a week ago, just in time to be welcomed home with 20" of fresh snow. Honestly, it was much welcomed. It's been a little too warm this winter, and the rivers need the moisture. But *&%$, ice in the guides sure is annoying...So is post holing through thigh/knee deep snow.

Had a numbers day, no big fish like last year. Fished a black stone nymph, tied with a little timberdoodle that I shot from last fall for good juju.

Air temp was around 20, and the water was a bit below 38.

Cheers!

You can have the snow. Does the Brule still open early?

The lower Brule opens the last Saturday of this month.
