Flow: 310
Water Temp: 42-52
The tailwater is fishing incredible right now and while the flows stay below 600-650 trout are everywhere. BWO hatches are getting larger as the days warm. Those patterns along with black midges and eggs are getting the bite. I started using the corQ strike indicators and the natural cork is helping substantially. Life at trout bum paradise is awesome and I’m looking forward to a great summer. Book your trip now before the flows limit the fishable water.  I’ll leave you with the long awaited report Team Chuck and Duck, Trout Unlimited’s 2015 Frostbite Fish-Off Champions.
Have the merriest of Easters

Well its been a good stint since the weekend of the 2015 FFO and I think it's all finally sunk in. All in all it was just a fantastic day of family, friends, fun, fish, and unexpected twists of epic proportion!
This year was the third year Ben and I have fished the tournament as Team Chuck and Duck. For those of you that might not be familiar with the name, we named our team after my casting style. Especially when hucking slabs of mojo mud and rabbit.
Before I start reminiscing, I just want to thank everyone who is involved with putting on this awesome tournament. I don't know of too many events that are this much fun AND support such a good cause. Everyone at the tournament from the beat controllers to the meal volunteers did a fantastic job and they were all a pleasure to spend time with. Ben Wurster and Lou McCullough did an awesome job as our fearless leaders again this year. Always good catching up with those two. I've learned a lot from them over the past three years about fishing this river. Any time you can help someone catch and release a true gem of nature, you have done the world some good and I am indebted to you both!
I also want to thank all of the sponsors who stepped up. Every year there are a ton of cool prizes for the grab bags, raffle, biggest fish, and top teams. I can't remember how much Ben Wurster said the total amount of sponsor donations came out to this year but the amount of goodies up for grabs this year was incredible. Ben and I had no idea what we were in store for. On to tournament day!
