Opener Update
It's hard to believe another winter has passed and opening day is upon us. Seemed like a short winter — maybe it was the lack of heavy snow.
The Au Sable River is in fine shape for the opener. Good dry fly choices for tomorrow are the perennial hendricksons, and also olives. Streamers will be a good choice as well if it's overcast and rainy as predicted, which seems to be the standard opener weather the last few years.
The steelhead are pretty much gone from the Rifle River, in case anyone is interested. They're usually there through April, but the warm weather led to an early run.
The shop will be open today and at 7:30 am tomorrow, and we'll have donuts and hot coffee. Hope to see you even if you don't need anything.
Here's to another great season!
