Made it out for 5 hours yesterday and today. Yesterday managed a wild male, a nice wild rainbow and a cutthroat. Skunked today. Was glad to get a fish in the boat yesterday. I’d say we are a week or two out before fishing picks up. Cold weather and cold water. Slush cleared around noon each day.
We had to push the boat over shelf ice to launch above Ellis. The river from challis and on upstream is heavily locked with ice still. Haven’t seen that much ice on March 10 ever.
Best of luck to those who give it a go!
