Would have to agree with that assessment. No new fish down in the lower end either. I floated Black Creek to Elk's Bar to help my daughter with a science project to collect water samples. Of course I had to take a few rods along so she could side-drift between samples. Never got a bite, and never saw a fish even in the low clear summer-like flows (unless you count two small trout/large smolt that we saw feeding on top). Talked to some plunkers who never got a bite either. Nice peaceful afternoon float despite the lack of fish.
