Thanksgiving Trip

[Trevor K]

Try-ed to fish at outlet #1 Saturday. The Key word is Try-ed. The water was up to the last step and there were about 6 anglers gathered up on the outlet. They were catching fish on just about anything that hit the water. I was able to squeeze in about 10 yards below the outlet and roll cast a midge out about 20 feet. Caught 3 and missed two

Then there was a guy came down to the dam side of the outlet and started free drifting as spin cast rig down river. Then my cast was not touching the water because of being on top of his line, he was free drifting almost 30 yards below me. After loosing 2 flies and tippets because of the tangles on his 10lb line and no hint of him not doing it anymore. I moved up river to about 100 yards below the dam. was able to cast and fish there for awhile I only caught 2 Largmouth bass and one little brown trout. The rain started coming down and the wind blow hard. I moved towards the car and decided to try the outlet again because some people had gone to the house. I managed to make one cast before the same guy with the opinion he owned the river from outlet 1 to the Landing. I broke off again and the guy did say he was sorry, I agreed with him and packed up and called it a day.

I mentioned to one guy that it was just about like Trout Park Fishing. He just laughed. I guess wverywhere has it's guy's that make the day go by faster.

That was the nice thing about fishing down where we were at. Usually had the whole place to yourself. Does anybody know if you have to be staying at Pointe Royale to use that access or can you get some type of a day pass?
