Jack Lyons tight to a nice rainbow he nymphed up using crystal eggs. Flows have dropped significantly here moving the trout into the deeper pools only.

Flows have decreased significantly recently. Access roads remain a mess due to mud, and large puddles in the two track ruts. The snow has melted for now; but if the forecast is correct we may see some snow accumulations by the weekend. The bite remains slow with declining numbers of migratory rainbows. Crystal Eggs, San Juan Worms, #16-18 Assassins (dark and light), #14-16 Crystal Leeches, and #16-20 Copper Tiger Midge, Zebra Midge, and Gillies have been good patterns fished with plenty of weight below an Under-Cator.  

Hopefully we will see an early run of cutthroat trout moving in March if the weather turns more seasonal.
