Big question here is when will roads be passable, and when will ice leave such a Hebgen Res., Wade and Cliff lakes.  Road to Lonesomehurst campground on the South Fork Arm of Hebgen is open, but snow-bound from there to Firehole Ranch.  Same snow-bound conditions exist on county roads approaching Hebgen Res.  Road over Red Rock Pass to Centennial Valley remains snow-bound.  Clark Canyon reservoir is ice free.  Fishing from shore with bead head nymphs is producing, but wind has made getting out on the water tough.
