I have a hard time waiting for the snow to melt and usually start hitting mountain streams come March and April. With the warm weather and moderate snow fall this year I thought I'd take the dogs and give it a try a bit earlier. Weather was in the low 40's at about 7000 ft. Fishing was just fair for smaller trout but the scenery and solitude made up for it. Never bothered to take a pic of a fish but here's one of the dogs by the stream. Now I'm thinking of all the other nearby mountain streams I want to hit in the next couple weeks. While I know we need the snow the up side of light snow years are quick runoffs and good early season fishing.
