Merry Christmas right back at ya, and all the other members here too. Hopefully everbody will have some time in between family events to hit the river, weather/flow permitting, or, better yet, have some time off over the next week as they all drop back into shape, full of fresh and willing fish.

My buddy in Eastern WA tells me ice has made fishing pretty tough, even on water with a pretty good gradient, but it sounds like it's starting to thaw out a little, anyway. Good luck on the clearwater.
