Open dates in January

All that high water a couple weeks ago encouraged the lions share of hatchery fish to swim straight into the hatchery, which left slim pickings around most of the traditional hatchery spots.  That said, there have been a few bright spots, and a smattering of early native fish around to keep things interesting.

    Nice to see a good sized hatchery fish. I wonder why the bogie fish were so small this year?
