I was talking to a guy up at A'hole last week and Skaguay came up in a discussion of where was a good place to take kids and newbies to show them sort of what it's like to catch fish. His report, though also second hand, was that it's still unfishable. It usually freezes about the same time as Tarryall but apparently not this year. Probably the best source for the skinny will be Chris at Colorado Tackle Pro 719-634-6939. He seems to know these things.
