Well said jigman, I couldn't agree more. Although I think that a good part of the Green's success is do in part because of the non-boat fishing regs.. The river has a tremendous amount of spawning ground that can't be fishd by bank anglers(trees from bank to bank). This spawning ground will be negated with the new regulations, plug pullers and boondogers will kill these spawning areas. I think that the new regulations are a terrible idea and I couldn't disagree with them more.
BTW the drift form palmer to flaming geyser is very easy and loaded with fish, give it a try.
