Here are the numbers count since 1996.

I did have a day there with Dennis Galyart 3 years ago and on that day caught more than 50 fish. It is a river l always do real well on, one reason why l chose to use it for my Wet fly ways DVD. Wild fish.

Here are the numbers.

This shows you the state of the Rainbow populations over this period. A high in 97 and a general decline since.

The years 01 to 03 showed a dramatic decline for both species
I do not know why, unless water levels were so low that predators harvested many of those fish.

In the case of Browns, that would include fish that were stocked.

Wish l was the river keeper on that river.
