Late post. Decided to wait for this one as this place already has a lot of pressure. Arrived at the river at 4 am on opening day. Hiked down to the spot i wanted to fish and waited for first light. Seen several fish caught at least a few dozen to put it lightly. I used bobber and jig with a bead dropper. Both fish i caught hit the dropper. First fish hit at about 8am and second fish hit around 10. The second fish had a lot of spunk, had to chase it downriver giving me an incredible fight that lasted what seemed like an eternity. The pics don't do justice the fish that I'm holding the one the left was bigger then the one on the right weighing at least 12lbs. Big shoulders on it and a bright summer run. I did see spoons and corkys with shrimp take its few share of fish also.
