Notes

The water was very brown, cloudy and foamy. Could not see the bottom all across, and the cup of water was actually very brown. The water was not brown because of the substrate. It was turned over as well. Maybe Iron?

Slippery steep wall down to the creek. Be careful when pulling into the area beside the bridge. Be careful on the blind cover when pulling out.

No signs of fishing since the spring.
