I call either shoup, northfork, or the sporting goods store in Challis depending on where I'm going. By the way, I fished Sat. and Sun. and from Ellis upriver was slushy or still frozen over. From Ellis down it was clear but cold, the fishing shut off. I had one fish on in two days, and saw one caught. When I got there the water temp was 32 and when I left sunday afternoon it had reached 34, I wished I could have stayed a few days longer. A couple more degrees and things should have heated up again. The deadwater blew Friday night so down river should be good soon. I think I'll wait to head back until mid next week. I also watch the IDFG steelhead report for hrs/fish. Sorry no pics this trip.
