Happy New Year!


Hello all, here's to a great 2009! The snow continues to pile up here in Western Wyoming. Good news for skiers and for the river systems. Although the snow depths are increasing almost daily, there is a persistent weak layer of snow near the bottom of the snowpack (a result of high altitude rain in November) that is causing dangerous conditions. In the past week, we have seen an inbounds avalanche fatality at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, as well as numerous other slides occurring at the ski area...one of which damaged the restaurant at the top of the gondola. Be careful out there! Not much to report on fishing...too cold and snowy around these parts. Hopefully, I'll get an update soon from friend Brian Hodges who is spending the winter in Argentina. I love winter here and skiing has been great, but my thoughts are always drifting to fishing and warmer climates. I'd rather be here now...the beach at Boca Paila, Mexico.
