Fished hard Friday (12/22), started at Reiter (9:30 a.m.) BRRRRRRRR!! 40mph wind w/rain snow mix. Only lasted an hour, heard of couple caught early in the morning. Went down river to the Startup area, still nothing and still windy but not as cold, no bites. Went down river to the Ben Howard area and finally hooked a small bright hen, about a 5-pound brat. I must of hiked 8 miles in my 5mm for that one fish. That was my first bite for me this winter out of 4 trips so far on the Sky, dissapointing. Talked to other boats going by and none of the boats confessed to having any fish.

Fished Saturday for a couple of hours on the Sky and no bites.

I hope others are doing better than me.

Keep your hooks sharp!
