Here's DSR's report from 3/8:

The Shelf Ice is finally breaking up. There is still significant Ice but it has broken open from the gut of most of the pools. I took a quick look at the Town pool on my way in today and it has also broken. That Ice will be flowing downstream so we are finally seeing the beginning of some better conditions. The sun is out and you can feel spring in the air! The weather for the coming week is predicted to be above 40 degrees on Tuesday & Wednesday. That little tick in Temperature can turn on the bite and bring those lethargic fish back to square. Look in the tailouts as the primary feeding area for those fish looking to start packing on some weight for the upcoming spawn. Good Luck!
