Report for 5/9

[bkbying89]

I couldn't stand it any longer, curiosity and the desire to wet a line forced me out. The good fishing reports also gave me a shove as well. The park looks pretty good in my opinion. The water is still high and murky, big volume from the spring is making wading (such as it is in the park) very difficult. That being said I caught one of the largest trout I have caught in a long time and all but one were extremely well fed. That is to say fat. My fish came on a yellow bead head wooly bugger. Which accounted for six fish. I got hit a bunch on that fly but only the were landed after that they next best fly was a red silly worm under an indicator. Several other flys were traded on and off for the rest of the total. l fished from 7:00 to 12:30 so I call this a good day. There were a good number of people leaving with their limits so by next Monday I believe most of the easy fishing will be gone. Be careful along the banks. They are muddy and slick, one older gentleman took a spill and it really shook him up. 

The people at the park have done a fantastic job getting the park up and running so quickly after the flooding. Several trees were cut up to open the path and one Yuge tree is down in the stream at the bend. I believe they cut it to prevent the root wad from pulling up the road. other than that I didn't see any other damage. I did not check out the hatchery. I had intended to but forgot until I had left the park. If there was any damage to the hatchery it would have been from the surging spring.
