Sounds like a nice trip Mike, that is one of my favorite cold rivers. Take different thinking to fish but its full of fish. You find any of those big brooks up there? They are growing better in there than the Caney. About 2 1/2 years ago, I watched one in a current break next to about a nice brown and that brook trout was every bit of the state record. It was early Nov and both were colored up good.
Did you happen to notice if they finished the work on Hatchery Creek banks? I was wanting to take my 3yr old up for her first trout on fly then trip to see the hatchery fish.
