I hit the same area Monday but went down a 100 yards or so to the private property boundary before working upstream. I went there remember someone on this site last year said it was a good place to bring dogs. The place was loaded with moose, saw 6 or 8. I had to keep a constant eye on the dogs so they wouldn't bother the moose or the dozens of deer crammed along the river. My dogs wear electric collars that give a vibration or shock if needed but they usually know better than to try a chase game because I won't tolerate it. Just so many animals so close I think I had to shock both of them 3-4 times to remind them. Unless your dogs are totally passive don't bring them. The snow was 2-3 feet deep and the fishing slow. Caught just 2, a 10 inch cutt and 14 inch brown on a #12 brown streamer and #14 prince nymph in 2 hours fishing. The sun felt warm even if I had a slight problem with the eyes icing up.
