April was a lion of a month weather wise but May has come in as gentle as a lamb. Over the years I have come to look forward to the months of April and October with great anticipation. In April the summer fishermen have not arrived yet and by October they have all but left.…

It’s late April and after a long winter we locals look forward to some nice spring weather and some of our favorite fishing of the entire year. A weekend trip to Idaho Falls teased us with 70 degree temperatures, blue skies, green grass, blooming tulips and short skirts. But, as is often the…
