I appologise for no pictures tonite because gail is down at school so it was up to me to do the river run for the update, and i forgot our camera. but this i can tell you, there is open water about 8 miles east of birchdale and all signs of breakup are there. it has been a slow breakup but with the lack of run off we may have the benefit of a longer window to fish. just my optomism. again sorry about no pictures but this was art's mistake not gail's. i should have a fishing update tonite when everyone gets back.
