Notes

Awesome time on the water. Only fished about 4 hours but the fish were aggressive, attacking my foam hopper from the moment I hit the water. It was my first trip up this river and while the fish are not big they make up for it in tenacity. And you can't ask for a better setting. Some very nice country up there.
