It looks like you’re doing a steady methodical approach to learning what’s in your local waters. This should pay off large next season when it counts – nice to see some fellow putting in the time, rather than pointing to a little mayfly 40 feet away and exclaiming, “that’s a Potamanthus DingDongus with egg sac!”
Thank you for the compliment. I laughed pretty hard when I read the “Potamanthus DingDongus with egg sac” I’m going to use that when I’m on the water and have no idea what the trout are eating.
If for some reason it’s time sensitive during a weekday, you can use my work email: justin.watkins@pca.state.mn.us (I don’t look at that Yahoo account more than ~1 time per day.

Area Report:
1/9/11: It's been unsually warm around the region, take advantage of the enjoyable weather, get out there and keep your eye open for midge. Bugs have been in the air but the trout have yet to really key in on them. Fishing streamers and small nymphs have been the most effective for me so far this season. Water levels appear to be low on most systems, take this into consideration and lengthen your leader, go slower, stay lower and target deeper faster water if possible. Good luck!
