I suggest adding more fiber to your diet...

Hi Guys, Was up Sat and Today ( Sun.) Medium pressure up top and very little down below. Shelf ice could be seen down low but generally quite open. All open up top. Got out around 10 AM Sat went to LFZ and stayed there for four or five hours. Lost my 3 black stone flys right away with crappy leader that broke right after the hits. Went out for Drennan and was OK after that but slow for me -should have picked up more black. Just a couple more fish. The guys with the strike indicators were outfishing everyone 2 or 3 to one in the bridge pool-- correct that 4 or 5 to one. One guy in particular had a LOT of fish on and landed with the indicator, he was next to me and used very thin but strong leader and #14 black stoneflys. The fish hit light and dont run like the warm weather but its great. The only slight issue I have is that the guys with the indicators take up a lot of room. When 2 or 3 guys are long casting and long drifting they can take up most of one side of the big pool. After a while I move in - They know they are using a lot of room- just be nice and polite about it and the guys are OK- I always ask if they mind me moving in about 30 yards from them - never been refused. Somebody asked a float guy at the LFZ how the action was he replied 17 hookups- he had more after that. Dont know if those guys were striking too late or too early but most of the hookups were on and off in a couple of seconds- Hook set-the fish rolled and OFF, time after time. After getting a lot of snow off the roof I got out late today and went to Ellis. A few guys around with fish on stringers- stayed a couple of hours and apparently missed the bite. A boat guide came by and said it was off for him too. It was 12 or 15 deg. colder today and he mentioned the barometric pressure but the early guys had clearly hooked up. Good luck guys---BTW all the fish were dark and there were lots of dead and a few white & dying around too. Reminded me of dead Salmon all over the place- I might be off here but some looked a lot like Hoes.

Good luck Dime, One report said the weather may warm a bit for the weekend. That guy next to me in LFZ was really hooking up with those #14 black stoneflys last Sat.I had on #10's and lost the only 3 I had in about an hour on hookups.

Hi Guys,
Was up Sat and Today ( Sun.)
Medium pressure up top and very little down below. Shelf ice could be seen down low but generally quite open. All open up top.
  Got out around 10 AM Sat went to LFZ and stayed there for four or five hours. Lost my 3 black stone flys right away with crappy leader that broke right after the hits. Went out for Drennan and was OK after that but slow for me -should have picked up more black. Just a couple more fish. The guys with the strike indicators were outfishing everyone 2 or 3 to one in the bridge pool-- correct that 4 or 5 to one. One guy in particular had a LOT of fish on and landed with the indicator, he was next to me and used very thin but strong leader and #14 black stoneflys. The fish hit light and dont run like the warm weather but its great.
  The only slight issue I have is that the guys with the indicators take up a lot of room.  When 2 or 3 guys are long casting and long drifting they can take up most of one side of the big pool. After a while I move in - They know they are using a lot of room- just be nice and polite about it and the guys are OK- I always ask if they mind me moving in about 30 yards from them - never been refused. Somebody asked a float guy at the LFZ how the action was he replied 17 hookups- he had more after that. Dont know if those guys were striking too late or too early but most of the hookups were on and off in a couple of seconds- Hook set-the fish rolled and OFF, time after time.

A boat guide came by and said it was off for him too. It was 12 or 15 deg. colder today and he mentioned the barometric pressure but the early guys had clearly hooked up.
