Roaring River is put and take as well, but its location requires a longer driver for a lot of folks. All the parks are on equal terms. You can catch big fish, but you have to find them.

Yes, all the parks are put and take. Just those as you mentioned, those that are harder to get to / more remote get less pressure so you see a lot more fish as the other parks. They all have some big ones swimming around.

I think that we have to remember that there are going to be bad years at trout parks and for us to expect these parks to be at their best despite the rough economy and bad weather from last year is ridiculous. I suggest that we either enjoy what we have or find a new hobby. Remember, you're there for the pleasure of being away from work, or in some situations the nagging wife, so enjoy it!

People,

I started this thread with a simple question. Now it has become a fascination for one person in particular to bash other fisherman because of how they feel about the situation. If you have nothing to add to this thread without the bashing stop reading it and posting if it bothers you so much. I think we all know how you feel about trout parks. So why even bother reading the sub-forum on the trout parks??

If anyone needs to get over it, I believe that it is you.

Atta boy NoLuck! Take back your thread!

I was down on St Patty's day with a couple of buddies and we caught fish, not many, but some. It was humbling, but I had a great day with my friends. That was all that really mattered. Catching 30 or 100 fish to me is just a bonus.

I think I'm heading to Bennett tomorrow, anybody else going to be up there.

I'm going to go and see for myself where all the fish have gone :)

No luck i would have to agree with you. The family and I camped last Thur-Sun and I did not see as many fish as I usually do. We caught fish and had a great time, but I didn't see as many. My guess is the weather last year and the fishing pressure this year are the cause. I only fished in zone 1 and a little in zone 2.

Fish On!
