River is running almost double what it normally is this time of year. Clarity isn't horrible though. Find a pocket or somewhere out of the main flow where they can rest and you might have a shot at one. I would wait for it to drop a bit if I you have that option.  :twocents:

If you do go, good luck and be safe.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The places I mentioned are Past the town of Goldbar. The first bridge you cross after Goldbar is High Bridge(parking on South side of HWY 2), a 1/2 mile past that is the railroad bridge where you park on the West side of the bridge and there is a path to the river. Another 3/4 past the railroad bridge is Reiter at the top of the hill and the starting of the East bound 4 lanes is a parking spot. Walk across the tracks and there is a path to the river where u fish 1500' above the ponds on the other side of the river.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Thanks Sky...  But looking at the river it might be a waste of gas.  But on the other hand it is dropping which always is a good time to fish.

Just came back from Cable tonight and we did'nt touch a fish. We were fishing in tight with bait, jigs, and spoons and got the big skunk. The rivers got that glacier look to it and it's way up in the bushes. I seen one fish roll about five feet off the bushes. I caught a 9 pound dolly on Tuesday night with a spoon. Thats nine pounds after I bled it and gilled it and I weighed it about 3 hours later. The state record is a 10 pound fifteen ounce caught off a tributary from the Sauk.
