Despite cold and snowy conditions the last few days have been great. Connecting with chomers has been more of a common place then a challenge.

Covering the right drifts with proper presentation has been key to positive results.

Steelies have laying in the deeper/slower pools. The best bet is drift sacs w/ float or bottom bouncing them. If you can stand the cold weather then steelhead await you.
