OTHER: I fished with Wayne and Dick. We launched one-man pontoon boats at Quarry Park and floated downstream. We had a great morning, and caught fish. Hot spots were along the residential docks in the Resort Hole and the pool above the upper riffle at McClellan's. While we caught a decent number of fish, the numbers were down from previous weeks, although the size of fish was considerably larger. In the pool above the upper riffle at McClellan's, I caught 6 fish on the first 7 casts, and 5 were above 16 inches, though none were above 20 inches. I caught one brown, one cutthroat, and the rest were rainbows. Generation began about 11:00 AM and ran us off the river, though the one-man pontoons handled 2 generators just fine; in fact, I wouldn't hesitate to fish 2 generators from the pontoon. I didn't see many fish until the 2nd riffle below the Resort Hole, but saw several in that riffle on river left. I also did not see many redds.
