Seems like the part that really sucks is that the fish in that river WILL bite, and they would probably bite even more readily if they didn't have 100 corkies ripping past them every minute. I've only fished it a couple of times, but I've managed a hook up or two each time I've been there - on float and eggs. It gets old hearing stuff like, "good job, bubba, you even hooked that one in the mouth!"
I need to do a little more exploring down there to find places away from "those" crowds to find some unmolested fish, tough to do when you don't have many fishing days...
As for the co-manglers, I mean co-managers ahem, not much we can do about that, hopefully they are cooperating with giving the fish a break...
