wondering if anyone has been down to river in last week or so. what's it like (ice coverage/how open to wading) planning on trip this weekend between hillcrest bridge to falls. any info would be great thanks.

I fished the crow on Jan 18 and there was very little open water then. I just found a few small sections by the falls.

After this recent cold snap, open water will be pretty scarce on the crow id imagine

No water open down from the Falls

East Hillcrest bridge has the usual open spots.
Lots of ice encroaching on holes and lies.

We're warmer now, but it's gonna take time.

There's midges happening pretty good on the OMR spillway, less wind, size 22 Dryfly ...... Always fun!

moving upstream from 507 bridge the water was open this morning - couple spots were frozen right over still but a few holes were very fishable. Worth checking out for sure.

I was down last weekend, not to fish, but it looked very frozen over near the castle mountain highway bridge
