OTHER: Fished solo. Wanted to get in some last minute fishing before Southern Council conclavers began pounding the fish. The 2011 Southern Council Conclave is October 6-8. Despite the early hour, there were other fishers downstream on the river, but none upstream. I fished the fast water in the riffle and caught several fish before I noticed fishers marching upstream from the access en masse. I gave my spot to a guide friend with a couple of aging clients, moved upstream further for a few minutes, then left the river. A last glance showed fishers about every 10 feet in front of Ol’ Charlie’s—too crowded for this ol’ boy. No more fishing for me until everyone leaves.
