Can't say that I share Greg's sentiments on this one. While the idea of creating more opportunity is good, I think in real life it's going to create problems.

First off, it's going to open more water for Brian, the local warden, to patrol at a time when he's already trying to be in too many places at once ... and poaching has proved to be a big problem in the waters already open above the hatchery.

Second off, I can see a lot of problems with the hazard of Snider Drop ... far worse water than what is currently open. Many of the flyguys like to use pontoon boats to get around ... in most instances, they WILL NOT handle the water just above the campground. I see disasters waiting to happen!

There are plenty of fish up that high in the first 2/3 of the season .. remember that the fish that have the farthest to go, generally come earlier in the run. A tip to boot
