Water is clearing up pretty fast up north, fished for 3 hours above mosquito lake road, landed a 10" silver just before leaving. Went up to Deming at Nugent's corner to find drift netters in full force, 2 boats each drifting one net after another.. Don't make any sense to me why they need to drift that far up river.... Hate to see them..... watched them for about 30 minutes or so and saw them pull only about 10 fish out after 4 floats..... left and went back up on the north fork and landed a really bright and healthy dolly! Measured out at 30 1/2"..... Wasn't sure if its legal to keep as part of trout regulations so off to the river it went... If anyone can clarify the trout regulations id be sure happy to know as it was a beautiful fish!
