Fishing season up here will start the 2nd Saturday in April for trout. Season is open all year long for most other species but trout,to keep,not release will open next week.

For the most part,ice is gone (kind of hard to fly fish on top of ice) and weather seems to be moderating.

However,some years I remember snow falling across the water as I tried to cast.

I have permits to fish in nearby reservoirs and hopefully will not hook into any invasive Snakehead fish. If they start showing up,it could be the start of some serious problems for the fisheries and Fish & Game Department wants to be notified.

My favorite Bird & Trout Knife is the old style Model 8 and in 2nd place would be a Model 10-5.
