Posts: 2733		Normally I do quite well here in early season. However it is possible that I just never went this early before. Only browns and pretty stocked brookies and a small amount of wild browns. It appeared that the stocking performed early in March left much to be desired. Some sections appeared almost barren of fish and other small areas had little pockets of 5 - 6 12" - 14" fish.

Upstream of the trail from the parking lot there is one large pine tree across the creek that wasn't there last summer. Also lots of blowdowns along creek edge. Well downstream there is a large log jam of about half a dozen downed trees across the creek making it impassable while wading. Any rod longer than 6 1/2' and you'll be testing your patience!

Here is where I started - (summer photo)
