I heard that Buttonwood and Davis overlook parking lots are open

I’ve spoken to a lot of anglers the last few days and its sounds like a few are going to head out and try their luck today. The river is at 35 degrees and flowing pretty good, that’s  about the warmest its been since last October. And with Thursday predicted to be in the 60s its going to warm even another degree or two. This slightly warmer water is finally going to start to trigger that spawning instict and we may see an early runner or two by the weekend.   Today the wind has slowed and some of the debris has moved downstream. If you do go out DO NOT STAND ON THE ICE SHELVES ALONG THE BANKS- VERY UNSTABLE.

Have fun , be safe and good luck fishing.
