Well, we just began 2018 with the coldest start of any year on record.  Single digit nights and days without rising above freezing have shut fishing down pretty completely for the moment.  We’ve got warmer days coming though and after a little time to thaw and clear we should be back on the water.  Today, we actually did try to drift nymphs down the open slot pictured below but apparently, the fish had more sense than we did and elected not to participate in our lunacy.   We took the hint and headed home to the wood stove.
