Outdoor Trailanimal 2022

The overflow channel is flowing....

River ice hasn't budged. Gravel bars are inundated, happy water foul. Center ice is rotting, hopefully when it moves it's so soft can't make tight ice dams on the way down......

Lots of snow to melt.

What fish do you get up there in the rivers? Also wanted to ask you if you ever wind dry any fish? Or all smoked?

Spent my childhood in a town called Grayling. The ausable river was chock full until fly fishing took hold. Grayling are so dumb, they will hit a cig butt. Explains their extinction in Michigan. Are they tasty?
What woods do you use to smoke fish?

They are delicate, good, fun to cook in the field over dry willow twigs. Dry willow don't make black smoke, good for bbq. They are indicator species. Only thrive in clean, clear, cold water. Over fishing will do them, but climate change warming water deprives them of the habitat they need to live.
Alder is good for smoking fish and hanging meat.
