OTHER: I fished with Wayne and Harold. We "floated" from Quarry Park to top of 2nd island above Ackerman/Handicap Access. I caught lots of fish on both the cockleburr and scud, and saw lots of fish in the river, particularly in the pools. I spent most of the day adjusting the one-man pontoon. It’s a nice craft, and allows one to see much of the river. At this point in my learning to use one, it's impossible to fish, though, because the wind blows me all over the place, turning me around in circles. I'll try an anchor to see if it helps. Fishing has been WOW. It's good to be back in the swing of things. I saw a dead male brown trout in the water below Mill Dam Eddy. The fish measured 34 inches and 24 pounds. It was bleeding through the anus and was discolored on one side.
