River was clear of ice at the mountain green exit and up. Fished the peterson exit for a couple hours got a nice fat brown, and a couple smaller cutts. Temps were around 35 and no ice in the guides [bobhappy], All fish were healthy and fat, wish I had more time, they were very active!

went up today by the Croyden exit (below the dwr land) and slayed the browns in every deep hole I found. Average fish was 14-16 and the biggest was 19-20 in. A couple HUGE whitefish too! Fly of choice was the good ol' pink squirrel... a driftless favorite from back home!! Some of the best fishing I have ever had, although, I was hoping to get a cutty.

Funny thing is when i went upstream to the dwr land it was completely frozen.

What is a pink squirel? Is it a scud/sow pattern?

I tie it with pink dubbing instead of chenille for a collar. The chenille seems to come apart easily. Don't know what exactly the fish mistake it for.

The cement plant kicks some warm water into lost creek only a couple hundred yards up from the confluence with the lower section of the Weber. I would suspect there would be some fish hanging out in that section. I wouldn't doubt its frozen solid above croyden because of the lack of outflow from echo reservoir after draining to repair the dam this last year.
