I'll be at the hatchery hole or the rock hole as it is sometimes called. Follow the road all the way in and park in the spaces next to the big sign on the right and walk down that big trail. It comes out right on the hole. You have to get in the water to fish it properly, unless the water is way down.

Well i'll be using what i have been pointing out on this thread, bobber and something. The hole is about 40-50ft long about 6-8ft deep and kinda slow. But the tail out is split by a limestone wall. So drifting is sorta unique there. Softball to soccer sized rocks make up alot of the bottom. I've drifted before but snagged after the first few casts. Since this wall is in the tailout and a huge rock is just above it, you get 2 completely different paths up the river, both almost the same so if your thinking about ease of fishing for Grandpa, i'd say the other side would work just as well or better. You have less casting to do to reach the drift. And you don't have to get in the water. Up to you though. If you need directions to the other side, just say so.

Well Lets say starting from the Kanaskat park entrance turn left and go across bridge. At the end there is a left turn that goes by the old Green river tavern and the bike and canoe rental shop which i think may be closed also. Just keep going straight and the road will head down to the palmer ponds hatchery. Park in the dirt area, look to your left and walk through that gate down to the river.

the other side is great if you wanna fish the tailout of the rock hole. but if you stand on the sand stone shelf you will be way to close to the fish and scare them away. I want to check out the other side of the Island soon.

Hey - you found my lost hiking boot! :p I'm just glad you didn't say - "well, I kept it for the smoker." Mmmm, smoked boots - not! Oh well, I haven't touched a steelhead this summer yet, so I can't really say much... But I'm expecting my home river (snoqualmie) to be heating up real soon

So your telling me none of you went up there? LOL Well as luck would have it i couldn't make it up either. Oh well next time. Water is pretty low right now 447cfs which is lower than low at kanaskat. Maybe tomorrow. Anyone got a shrimp preservative for live shrimp? LOL Any suggestions on keeping them alive longer?
Boot? LOL Hell that fish fought pretty dam good for being so dark. Got it on a pink/white jig. I don't think i've ever seen one darker.

well I hit the green at 4:am and man the fish were rolling. I saw one that was atleast 10 to 15 lbs. Also I kept seeing fish that had an orange-red back. Had to be a White fish right?? I personally had no action but saw atleast 8 feesh. I had one jump with in three feet of my bobber. I was so adrenalized thinking that upon his decent back into the water he would see my Jig and ..............WHAM. But the stupid slimeball didn't do crap. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
