It was a week of wonderful weather (for the most part) in the Buffalo Niagara Region.

Jordan and Ryan catch up after taking a week off.  They discuss the drastic change in conditions of late and how that might affect their approach to the fishery (i.e. tactics, locations, etc.).  The forecast for this upcoming week looks dicey and erratic so they review options for places to fish when the weather is hostile.
