I finally fished the EC this last fall and saw very few fish, a lot of silt and zero fry swimming along the margins of the river, which I always saw in the past. It looks like the river needs time to recover before it will be anywhere close to how good it was in the past. Still, I like to see that people are still getting a few out of there. Thanks for the report.
