Well lilsalmon... I assume you will be going below dexter dam.... I am looking at hitting above lookout reservoir but I spose if yall go thursday i could change plans and meet up with you lower. As for spots... I havent a clue. I only know of the snaggers paradise on the middle fork.. altho pengra im told has decent bank fishing if i recall correctly

We are staying at campers flat. Being that I am unfamiliar with the area I am not sure where everything is located....need to study the map some more. Snaggers paradise sounds like something I would want to avoid

Oo...ok... I havent fished that area before. Tryin to look at this google map to figure out which fork is still the middle fork and what the others are. I am looking at fly and spin fishing up along the middle fork on thursday. possibly getting wet in my 2 peice waders and some water shoes. guess we will see how that goes

Well good luck when you guys get out there! I my self will be everywhere around the town run, ill be bankin it, i found a few spots that look good but looks like everyone drift fishes it there so i wont want to cast spinners or spoons there, but it wont hurt to go check it out and see if there is an open spot! most likely i will dodge the crowds like i always do. i dont mind all the fisher ppl in boats tho and some bankers are really nice but some are slobs!

Thanks.....good luck to you too. I like avoiding the crowds also.....not into any sort of combat fishing or a lot of people.

Great place for Trout, I learned how to fly fish on that river. Mighty fine water up there, you are camped in a great location. You should try the spur road just before you cross the bridge in the back; headed up stream of the lake, turn right and the road follows the river for a good piece. Enjoy the area; wild and scenic for sure.

I strongly suggest tying on 5-6 large ORANGE helium filled balloons. They're great water wings if anyone (coughdavecough) :lol: :lol: falls into the drink and they will keep you safe.

Barb...your funny...thanks for the help everyone....we went out there and had a great time...a lot of water in that area. Bigsteel is going to post a thread with pics and stuff.....as for the hunters, we were the only fisher people at the campground but it was a very nice place anyway....hehe. We wore our ordinary tan and black...hehe...rebels we are (I laugh and say that cuz I am home safe and unshot)
