Members shootermedic816 Posted February 24, 2012 Members Posted February 24, 2012 Fellas! I am new to the forum and fairly new to the sport of fly fishing! I am wanting to take a couple days and head down to Bennett Springs in late April. I have never been down there and like I said before I am fairly new to fly fishing, so my question is this. Is late April a good time to go as far as being crowded? I am planning on going a couple days during the week and avoiding the weekend rush, but I want to stay out of other peoples way while I work to fine tune the art of fly fishing. Can anybody point me in a direction to go that would be somewhat private but still have a decent opportunity to catch fish? Or should I be looking at another time frame to go in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Jonathan AKA ShooterMedic816
fishinwrench Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Late April will be awesome....provided its not flooded. And Bennett is chok full of guys that will be honored to offer up pointers and advise. If you notice someone that looks like they know what they're doing, strike up a conversation with them and the next thing you know you'll have the next best thing to a personal guide and instructor ....for free.

I agree. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
laker67 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 There just might be some of those 200 lunkers over 8 lbs left at that point. J R has claimed thats what they turn loose every opener since about 2004.

Members shootermedic816 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Members Posted February 27, 2012 Ah! Sounds like a fantastic fella! Someone I need to steer clear of sounds like! -Jonathan AKA ShooterMedic816
NoLuck Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hard to steer clear of someone that gives you no choice. Just use the locally run places as much as possible and you can steer clear of him as much as possible.
