AS WEATHER warms, and moss beds take over, it will lie even tougher to score on large fish. But, for right now, especially as streams subside, and lakes clear of the drought year run off remaining, fishing will likely be at an early season peak. With so little water this time around, it is also likely some streams may dwindle to the point fish will later remain in almost coast ant hiding. By late summer, if the outlook grows too severe, limits could Ire lifted. However, for now, the fishing outlook couldnt be Iretter.
