11 Pt Was Ripping On 6/20.

[jdmidwest]

Met up with some friends and floated from Whitten to Riverton on Wed. River was up and flowing good. Whitten access was over run with campers and tents. Upper parking lot was full of tents and the lower one had several campers.

River was up and dingy, I really would like to see this all year round, if I was in the jet boat. In the yak, I ended up blasting thru most good runs and had to struggle to wade back thru them to fish. Most were too deep to wade.

Fishing was horrible until about 2. Front rolled thru the night before, river was tailing out from recent rains. Crowds were heavy for a weekday in the middle of June.

I caught my first fish right above Greenbriar. Others in the group had only picked up one each.

After I broke the skunk, things starting popping and the fishing picked up. Not spectacular, but on the tail end before the next stocking, I think we did well. Halls Bay was fun with some great standing waves that cooled us down before the end of a hot day.
