The river is scary low. It still looks like a great trip to take your son on. Did he ever catch a "big one"?

He did but it came off right as he was pulling it out of the water. He caught two more, well landed two. One was a 13"er , not too bad. After a few hours he tried and succeeded in catching a sucker by hand. Good fun for sure, and he truly loves it!

Thanks for sharing your sons adventure Rock. Would be kool to see some pictures
of him catching that trout with his hands. :)

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
