Well the Corp finally shut off both units on Beaver last night, so I got out this morning. The fish were, in the immortal words of Roy D. Mercer, "like a hobo on a hot pocket." I caught 40+ between 10am and 330pm. More importantly I noticed 2 things: 1) only a few were of the stocker variety, and 2) almost all were THICK. Moreover, I'd have to say that 1 in 4 were either in the slot or 12-13" in size, including a 14" brownie. Only a few were of the dinker type. With all of the high water issues over the past 9 months, the fishing pressure has been very low. And it appears the trout have been taking advantage of that. Fishing should be very good in the coming weeks and months.

Thanks for the report. Work has kept me off the water for the better part of three months, but with the week of Christmas off, you can bet I will be out there. It's great to hear positive things.

thanks for the report. Ive been down twice in the past two months but they were running the water so i wasnt able to hike in to old catch and release section. The fish do look good right now. Cant wait to get out now that the water is low
