Here we are one week from the 2014 Brule River Opener and I’m afraid that this report is not the most encouraging one I have ever posted. Expect lots of snow in the Valley, and lots of ice on the river. Snowshoes may be on the list of required gear this year!

3 1/2 feet of snow in the Brule Valley! 3/21

The River at Co-op Park Bridge on 3-21

The news is not all bad though! We may have a delayed start to the season, but this year, Steelhead should be around until at least the middle of May.
