I saw those two fish today too. I best part is that the kid was handed the rod by some one else so the kid and his dad could see what it was like to catch a Steelie! I applaud the sportsmanship on the river. Makes me proud to meet new friends. I was at the OFF hole for the first time last night and returned again this moring for another look. Nice place and friendly people to share the water with. If you were there last night... I'm the guy who got the fly rod out for a little fun!
I wont be wasting my time at the "OFF Hole" or Eagle Creek. Just because we all know that EC is terrible doesn't mean that Faraday has to be the same way. It WAS great....now it isn't... it was NEVER a secret, but it was also NEVER talked about on a forum like this (to my knowledge). I am here to tell you that I had fools come up within 10 yds of me and cast their frigging bobber and jig like it wont get in the way of me tossing spinners. These are newbie ignorant fishermen that probably learned about the place from some blabbermouth here. Its just the way it is now. There IS trash everywhere....you dont walk far down if you disagree. The bank is strewn with beer cans and tackle wrappers. That place is ruined. Do what you want to defend it, but it is NOT the kind of place I see as fun to fish at anymore. Just my .02
