Thanks so much for the info y'all, seeing how much I can get out of a subtle question like this really makes joining OFF seem like a no brainer. I've asked folks in my local shop about this area and they've simply said, "Don't go there" or "Not worth it", without telling me why.
Most of the time, I enjoy the adventure of exploring a new place just as much as I do fishing it, regardless if the place is a bust, so the quality of the fishing makes up half the value. At least now I have enough info to decide on my own if it's worth taking the motorcycle out on a sunny day and exploring the area, and whether or not I should pack the flyrod
and of course, it should be common practice knowing your regs, and especially this time of year, stay up on any changes that may have occurred for the new season
