zip 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Fish would just be a bonus when the setting is that pretty Couldn't agree more buddy.I know everyone of us loves to catch fish,but sometimes just being humbled by the environment is the most important lesson one could learn! Happy New Years Steve. Great looking spot to fish! As stated, a fish would have been a bonus - that's what keeps you coming back right? Think March or April (if you can fish there then legally ) BCT BCT-This has been a favorite spot to fish since I was a tiny guy.March and April is always killer as well as mid to late fall.The river produces some gorgeous Brooks and wild browns.

The fish were moving,but it was just cold as hell,Mike!This morning was a brisk 7! Zip, I don't know if you live in the area or were just visiting like me, but we oughta get out in the park fishing sometime! I'm from there originally, but just went up for a visit.I can show you some great places at higher elevation for natives in the spring.A yellow Sally tied on a #18 usually does the trick.
