Newbie Advice For Upper Como

[Fly_Guy]

Personally, I'd park on the north side. There is a spot to park on the south side and I've done it before, but the rub is this: if...1) there's no generation the whole day, you can just as easy cross the river and fish any place you can reach from the south Shore, 2) There is at least one unit going, there's some access, but you'll be close to the bank, and I've always had equal luck on the north Shore from the wire down, and 3) if you think you can "outsmart" the current if generation increases and it looks easier to get back to the south Shore from say around the island than to the north Shore, you'd play a dangerous game. The current that runs behind the island that's across from outlet 2 is deceptively strong and deep, and runs quick. I've nearly been stranded when generation was moderate becauseI thought I'd be clever and avoid the crowd at the outlet be approaching from the south lot. Was fishing below the island and didn't notice how much current had increased.

That's true Fly_Guy. But I'll also say that there is some good fishing close to the south shore. No need to head toward any thing to the west, plenty of water right there in front of you with usually less people.

Thanks guys. Safety is always smart so I'll stick to the north side until I learn the water better.

'Less people' sounds good though.
