Linehan Outfitting Company5-Day Outlook as of 2/24/25
A significant warm front has hit the area and daytime temps will be above freezing and even into the 40s for most of the week. Rain showers are possible but this is a window of good opportunity for February.
Techniques & Tips as of 2/24/25
Nymphing and pulling streamers will be bets from this point on. Dry fly action will obviously take a back seat through the winter.
