Additional Notes:
Great day on the water…I spotted who I thought was Matt from WaLk.com and discovered it was actually 2 fin and feather warden's patrolling. They said it seemed fairly slow compared to recent days, with most folks only picking up 1-2 fish. It's always great to see LE out and about being pro-active.
