The fishing last week was frigid to say the least, but people were getting out there still. Most all of the fishing last week was on the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, (Armstrong’s, Nelson’s, and DePuy’s), where the water temperatures come out of the ground around 52°F. All the typical winter fishing problems were present – ice build up on the guides, wind gusts affecting your drift, frozen fingers and toes… Only you can decide if spending a day on the water when it is this cold is worth while or not.
The river has too much slush ice in it to fish. With colder temps in the negatives the next few days the river might freeze over completely again…
