Cold but worth the Chrome

[silverstreak]

Gotta love a decent January Thaw. The best part about them is that fishing can be fast and furious or fish can be spread out.

I like the sporatic action in which case you have to walk a river hole to hole or run to run to find chrome.

I find this steelheading scanario more challenging hence more rewarding.It also keeps the crowds down a bit.

Didn't use a single roe bag as steelies seemed to hunt down Bunny jigs in the stained flows.

Saturday's Outing was also challenging as the temps took a nosedive.

Edge ice and chrome was the order of the day for those who dared to brave the wind and cold.

Glad to get out while I could.

Here's another that hit a white Riverwood bunny jig.

Steelies seemed to be sitting in the runs and tailouts during the stained flow.

This is a good indication that fish are on the move.

This cold snap will slow them down so here's to the next thaw.
