Two queries today about booking for spring fishing. Wendy & I recommend that potential clients monitor this site, rather than be disappointed by finding the river still iced over. In 2007 we contacted our clients and suggested they take a later booking due to ice conditions. They actually tied nicely into a run.
I will provide updates closer to mid April, with the understanding rentals are on a first come first served basis. A number of summer and fall dates are already booked.
Normally this stretch of river is clear of ice by April 15th when the salmon season opens. In 2007 the river opened around April 26th and took a couple of days to clear, in 2006 the river never opened until end of first week in May, so at this point in time it is hard to gauge if the river will be open April 15th 2008.
There is a lot of snow on the ground compared to the last two years, approx. 4.5 ft., with 9-10 ft. high banks in places and another 25 cm expected over the coming weekend, so winter is not over yet.
