Sunday was a frigid cold day with the temperature in the single digits and was 20 degrees below zero with the wind chill factor. More of the same record cold temperatures are expected for today. Slush ice was a factor in the mid to lower of the river and did not clear. The upper end of the river in Altmar has not been getting slush ice and is where most anglers are fishing on a daily basis. With the recent cold temp’s most anglers have been fishing late morning through early afternoon which has been the warmest part of the day. In the upper end of the river anglers are fishing the Lower Fly Zone, Schoolhouse Pool, Wire Hole, Ellis Cove, Bovines, Trestle Pool, Refrigerator and Pineville.
