But I haven't checked yet. The water was still way to hot this weekend. Though the temps are very cold at night the Otter is a huge drainage and takes awhile longer. Please use your discretion. Take a thermometer. It will be great fishing this week. Lots of caddis. But my favorite is fishing Streamers this time of the year. Our shop is 75 yards from great fishing on the Otter, so stop in and let us set you up with some great patterns and you can walk down from here. I will give some more in depth info as soon as I feel the Otter is at a good temp.
