:yike: :bash:

i had been curious about taking a look up around there, mainly for old time's sake.  think i'll stay out in my neck of the woods.  back when i was just out of high school i used to go run out there a few times a week, and rarely saw anyone(this was less than 10 years ago), much less in early january.  can't even drift fish my favorite spot any more, since the plunkers took it over, and they never leave!
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

I fished it last week and hooked into a couple of beat up spawners. Lots of rigs but it didnt seem to crowded, most people didnt have chest waders though.

I was up there during Christmas break.  I saw someone drive by really, really slow so I reeled up and hiked to my truck.  Mine was the only one in the lot that night.  I came out late...  Two people got out and looked at the fish hatchery, then went to look at my truck.  I sat in the brush waiting to see what they were doing.  One checked to see if my door was locked. 

They got into their rig and left.  I did get the info and called it in.  BUT you need to be careful up there.
