The Park itself has taken a pretty good hit from the flood waters. Make sure you look at the photos of the water next to the tag windows. Lots of debris scooped to the side while piles of wood thats been sawed waiting to be taken away. Go slow in the now washboarded gravel parking lot. But if you go fast the kids will enjoy the ride.

Water is still very high so that chest waders are the best answer or just keeping completely out of the stream and using the long handled dip net. Water is the color of a cloudy glass of green Kool-Aid. The fish seem to be in the faster moving water as opposed to the slower moving pools upstream. Water to warm perhaps with all the rain.

Don't be afraid to use an old spark plug for a weight. Fish are of average stocker size but are biting. We found use the the wildest, ugliest colors of bait, worms and jigs gave the best results.
