COLD... Very very COLD, clear and low. I went exploring yesterday and wound up on the Sauk. there was thick ice i had to smash through that surrounded every gravel bar and slow pool I had to cross to get to the faster ice free water.
I could get about five swings in before it was time to pick the ice out of my guides, and try to warm up.
I did run into a good number of dollys, most of which were in the sunlit shallow tail ends of the areas I fished. they all were craving a orange and cream tube fly I had tied up a few weeks ago. Most of them were all pretty meek on the take and fight, except the guy in the pick below, he had me thinking "STEELHEAD!?!" for a few seconds, he was easily the feistiest dolly I have ever played with.
All in all a great day to be out on the water if you can stand the cold.

Thanks for the report. Im thinking about heading up there this sunday for my first time. Any advice for the bulls? Should I stay lower on the river or higher? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thats a great pic of the Dolly! Truly sounds like a great day on the river through all the elements that could come your way!
