OTHER: Fished with Ed. The riffle below the island was completely opposite from yesterday morning, fishing red hot from the beginning. Well over a dozen fish were taken before we moved upstream. The chute along the island was being fished by a good fisher on his way downstream, so we bypassed our usual stops and waded to the riffle above the island. It, too, fished red hot with a couple of dozen mostly 15+ inch fish being caught. I fished the plunge pool and managed to catch a half dozen fish on very subtle takes. As we wrapped up our fishing above the island, we observed 9 people fishing from Otter Creek to the riffle above the island (don’t these young people work for a living?)—time for us to leave. As I fished along the island working our way downstream, one of the fishes kayaked directly over the bubble line I was fishing—to many people. It was a great morning, and a great trip for Ed.
