Rush River Clean up Day

Good Morning Fellow Anglers....

Mark your calendar for the 2008 Rush River Cleanup day! Saturday April 19, 8am at the Rush River Rod and Gun Club on Highway 72, east of Ellsworth. Contact Sarah Sanford @ rushclean2006@yahoo.com if you have questions or ideas, or just show up, grab a bag and start picken! It's a great opportunity to make an amazing stream that much better, get involved!

Locally, the water levels are rising and most of the streams will be high and off color. I was at Kinni Creek Lodge yesterday working on the fly shop and the kinni looked rough, not overly high but chocolate milk like in consistency. The willow was also high (up a foot since tuesday) and not quite as murky but difficult fishing.

Regarding Kinni Creek and the shop. We are adding a number of things this year. Rods and reels from Temple Fork Outfitters and Flies from Montana Fly Co. The bugs from MFC are amazing and most of the patterns we'll stock will be geared to the Kinni and the Rush with lots of seasonal patterns to boot. Stop in when your in town and say hi to Paige and myself. We also have a complete line of leaders/tippet and fly lines. With the lack of shopping opportunity locally, this could be a great stream side stop to pick up some last minute items and some of the cool "tech nymphs" from Montana Fly.

The next couple days could find me shore fishing @ Pool 2 again. I might even drag the 7wt down and with a little patience, catch a walleye on a streamer..or not.

Peace,
