Huge Crowds

Only costs $7.00 for a trout permit for the year.

The wife and I are heading to Hidden Valley Outfitters on Monday thru Friday next week oct. 23rd.  I’m hoping it won’t be so crowded during the week. I know the campground is full on the weekend because of their Halloween party at HVO.  One last camping/fishing trip before winterizing the camper.

Probably won't head to Bennett until less populated seasons... or maybe not at all 

I would advocate that you should fish it at least once. Then again I would advocate fishing all of the trout parks as well as the wild trout streams to appreciate these different places and the fish that can be caught there.

Well NoLuck how did the beads work??  I assume you got them.

[NoLuck]

Yeah I got them.  I haven’t had a chance to fish them yet. Been catching plenty of fish on my normal stuff. I’ll give it a whirl tomorrow and see how it works. I tied up a couple variations. I’ll let you know when I fish them.

Fishing was pretty good what little I fished. Did a lot of relaxing and visiting with friends. The crowds we pretty low and I saw a couple of lunkers hauled in.  It was a good trip. Nice and cool.

We really liked staying at Hidden Valley Outfitters right across from Bennett last week.Full hookups we’re great. I tried fishing the river a few hours but got nothing.  In the park a harvester midge (olive with black wire) produced pretty well and also a peach egg pattern.  I fished mostly up by the island. Only a couple of hours per day in the evening. We met some friends camping and overall it was a great last camping trip of the season. Hopefully I’ll get down for some winter fishing this year.
