East Lake Resort has their ramp/dock open for launching. I will use it this week for sure. It is $10 for their launch fee. 


Hot Springs Ramp still has snow on the ramp, although my friend Skip said someone busted their way down it yesterday. What surprises me is they made it back up. That will melt fast though and I bet by early in the week it will be totally open. 


Good reports of fish near the edges and in shallow zones eating chironomids, scuds, leeches and try some damsel nymphs and callibaetis nymphs now. Bank wade opportunities are excellent, and boating is always a good bet.
