Kind of surprised you recieved that response from the MDC about trout in the river above the springs.I think the springs would be a easy identified landmark,and if they think the habitat is marginal or the water to warm,why waste the time,money,and fish? Anyhow there's plenty of trout in that stretch[between hwy8 bridge and the springs.Also I've caught plenty of trout 6 miles or so above hwy8 bridge,there is at least two pay to play trout creeks that empty into the Meremac above hwy8 bridge.My wife caught a 3+ pound hook jaw rainbow just below ceder low water bridge[miles above hwy8 bridge] on a soft craw the last time we floated it.That area by the way you can use bait/plastics.Give it a try,big bows,big smallies and huge goggle eye.
