Never fished this water.....amazingly, since I am only about an hour away. So...the WF or the EF....anyone care to comment?

I say hit the WF. Nothing special, but nice for a local stream. There's a good population of large stone flies in that river, so make their imitation part of your *. I rarely use anything other than dries up there. Walk at least a mile before you start fishing. It's not that the fish are better, just it gets you away from some of the crowds. Don't leave any valuables in sight in your car. If you can, pick up trash on your way out.

Thnks for the info Chad....that is sorta what I was thinking too. How about the "bridge to nowhere"? Have you fished that area?

WF if you have a bike. No time at all to get to the C+R section. It's still cold enough, for now. A lil' off color.

The WF parking lot has been crowded by mid morning. Don't stay after dark, either.

Might wanna try a PT dropper or some such off your dry. Might be worth a tangle or two.

EF if you can get there early enough to find parking. Clearer, and more scenic. Haven't been back to the bridge,

I always start fishing too soon. Don't forget your Adventure Pass, they write lots of tickets for that.

PA's and EHC's are my fave's. Practice your sneak, it helps.

Get pass the crowds and throw drys. I agree with Ariel . I have seen 2 cars broken into so far this summer up there.
