Thanks Jack, for sharing your knowledge concerning the Elk and the Duck.
Fishing is improving on the Elk. I fished the Ferris Creek section and the Hwy 50 bridge area yesterday. Did a little better at Ferris Creek, but caught plenty of fish both places. The browns are...
Wednesday, April 21 Elk River Report
I fished the Elk for about 4 hours yesterday afternoon.
I basically had the whole river to myself from the Hwy 50 bridge to the first bend.

So, I...
Thanks all for the cordial welcome.
Jack, it doesn't look like the flow will be reduced for a while. Do you know what the "normal" winter level is for Normandy Lake?
Also, thanks for the fly...
Jack Hise,
Do you know at what locations they have stocked on the Duck this year?
When I last fished, back on Nov 16, I caught trout from the dam down to below the second bridge and nothing at...
