Big Wood Report 2/17/2012

I fished the Big Wood from about 1:30-4:00 yesterday.  With colder temperatures, I didn't expect to see anything happening up top, but after walking for about 20 minutes, I noticed fish sipping midges in a back eddy.  While they weren't spread out in the riffles, like they have been, there were definitely fish to be had on dries. Other than a few spots with really soft water, it was mostly a nymphing game, but fish would still eat nymphs in the deeper pools.  My camera ran out of batteries, so I didn't get any pictures, but stay tuned for South Fork of the Boise and Salmon River Steelhead reports.
