Anyone fishing NFR lately?

[dude young]

Am planning on heading out tomorrow and am tossing around either NFR or Hagg Lake. I am pretty familiar with Hagg at this point, but have yet to fish the 'Res'.

Thoughts? I see that it is not on the stocking sched. for some time, but is there a decent hold over population? Is it even open right now?

Thanks.

 

[dude young]

Never mind. Not open until May 22. Would have been nice to be there all by myself though.

I'd risk it. All those fish you'd catch would be worth the jail time.

wow the little gal in the information booth must have been wrong.. wont catch anything now but cold.. Think I'll catch some coastal fish...Maybe go out on a boat yes with tags and License..

 

[troutdude]

Lois, Beaverfan is quite correct. NFR doesn't open until late May.

We prefer to meet you on the water, and not at the crowbar hotel! lol

P.S. If I were you...I'd have a nice long "chat" with the "little gal" at the information booth. She obviously is CLUELESS!

it is closed to let the native salmon and steelhead run down the river thats why from may 22 to october 31 you can only keep fin clipped trout

 

[fishdog88]

I Just went today, they got stocked this week. got there, just bbq-ing, ready for a no catch day. Casted out, 1 fish.
Then things got interesting. We threw on some Power Eggs, and the fish were biting. Cast out, and within a minute we caught a fish.
Needless to say, we limited out

Headed there with some friends tomorrow morning. We are also going to hit up Faraday on the way. Will post results later tomorrrow.

 

[Mattdm22]

Caught 5 bow's and everyone else limited but nothing too big to brag about. Green power eggs on bottom did it from 8am - 130pm.

We were going to but decided against it. We hit up Harriet then headed to North Fork for the rest of the day.
