I wasn't there. Weight calculator says it's 29, but I don't know. Nick says it was a big fish, which I believe. He was way upstream past the park boundary.

Way way up. Since I wasn't there, they struggled quite a bit, but I bet if I were there we'd slay 'em! I'm going to try and come up with an overnighter in the next few weeks before the season is over.

Yea its a hard place to learn, but the fish have gotta be there all the way up. I bet the closer to the april 15th closing you get the better the fishin will get, more stacked you kno
