As far as the fishing on my favorite local river, it has been great. Not the best, but pretty damn good! Every one I come across on the river says the season has been really slow. If I'm averaging a fish per trip its far from slow! As far as my spots on the river, their pretty secluded. I know theres other people that fish them cause of trash and other [censored] they leave behind. (That I pick up and pack out)

If you fish presistantly and are patient it will pay off. Good luck!

Oh by the way all fish were caught on ten # clear stren. Thick line hooks less fish.
