Snowpack Report - Jan Update

Bo Brand rigging up for next day's fishing adventure in Montana.

So far so good...

The last few weeks around Spokane haven't seen much in the way of snowfall, but the mountains are still staying strong with good snowpack.

Winter isn't over yet, so fingers crossed it continues!

Last year summer was plagued with drought, river closures, extreme heat, fires, and smoke. By August it was pretty challenging to find cold moving water to fish.

I don't have a forecast for this summer, my crystal ball doesn't work that well, but I hope it isn't a repeat of last year! Currently it is not shaping up that way.

My advice for anglers planning summertime adventures... plan them earlier in the summer, rather than later! June is great, early July is typically great, by late July the fishing is generally slow across the west.
