While fifty guys is more than I want to fish with (by about thirty-five guys!), folks who have fished more than five years will tell you that fifty guys is chicken scratch for Reiter.

Back in the '80's and '90's, up to about '95, it wasn't unusual to see the parking lot full, with cars parked up the driveway damn near back out to Reiter Rd., and another thirty trucks on the highway side.

There were people arsehole to elbow from the tailout to the pipe, and that's about 400 yards...plus another couple dozen down on the Cable Hole just below Reiter.

'Course, those 200 guys were fishing over 1200 fish every day, rather than the 75 or so fish that are there now...

Ten to fifteen feet between guys? Man, back in the day there would have been two or three more guys between everyone there now...and guys casting over each other's shoulders as they piled on at the creek three or four deep.

As far as crowds go, now is "the good ol' days"!

Fish on...
