Got to Birch in the early afternoon Friday, fishing was slow Friday night. Saturday morning was real good between 8 and 10 AM then things slowed down, mostly char and a few rainbows. We had about 3" of new snow and the fishing slowed down as the clouds cleared out. Caught one nice rainbow after changing lures and putting on fresh bait late Saturday afternoon. He had my little ice rod bent tip to butt while stripping line. Went about 16" and goes in the pan for dinner tonight. Didn't fish on Sunday, we ran out of propane for the heater sometime after we left the shack Saturday night so we just decided to pack up and head back to town. Good friends, good food and cold beer, with a few fish thrown in, it just don't get any better than that!
