So far, it's looking like a good snow year in the northern Rockies. If
it keeps up, we might see very late conditions like last year, when
everything seemed like it was delayed about a month.

I sure hope so
We just got hit w -3 ft of snow

Last year the run-off was great!
We needed it for fire season ... It was lousy though for early season May &
June fly fishing
as the rivers were high and fast thru late June -

Let's hope that this year is the same or better
I like living fire free more than fly fishing

We also need to fill our breeding canal - We need the early spring runoff
Last yearr we added 1100 rainbow fry - Maybe 200-300 survived??
We have honed our techniques - get to the canal and lock up the dogs before
we trap the fish
I expect 3 times that am't this year

and
