So it is snowing again. At the moment in Hailey it's 20 degrees and about an inch or two of new with 8" to 16" forecast to fall by tomorrow. Town is still quiet but I cannot imagine that will last long. The bug activity on the Big Wood River has been fluctuating much like the weather. On the warmer days there have been enough bugs to get the fish up on the surface. And on the colder days--highs below 20 degrees--there are better things to do. If you have the chance to walk over the River Run bridge, take a moment and look upstream and to your right--river left--and watch the shallow water. There are many fish sitting in 6 to 8 inches of water. I see that spot as a barometer spot that is very easy to get to and observe. While I am not likely to fish there, it certainly acts as an indicator as to whether or not fish will be feeding elsewhere on the Wood.
The images below I took this morning and range from 2.5 to 4 second exposures. It was snowing quite hard when I took these shots on the Big Wood River. I am hoping to get out tonight if it is still snowing to capture a few more falling snow and moving water shots...
