Must move upriver.

We were there all week and thought the same thing when we saw the netters go in Wed. night. We stayed, and they did not have any affect on numbers for Thurs. mornings bite. One benifit though was that there were 1/3 the number of boats out which made for a much calmer drift. Our numbers sucked, but still limited daily for 3 rods. Hot Springer fishn in my book.
