Josh,
I think you're right, the first half hour I fished a very thick hatch of stones and caught only one fish and it was the smallest of the day. They must have just been stuffed to the gills. As I worked up on the leading edge of the hatch the fish all of a sudden went into a crazy feeding frenzy for an half hour. The last hour up the river slowed a bit as the stones really thinned out further.
There is actually a reason explosives where used in the area in the past. But I wonder what the fine would be if we put some danger explosives signs up to keep the hordes out of a few of these very best streams in Utah[
]. I've seen signs warning of rattlers as well in Utah- maybe we could convince the forest service those signs are desperately needed. Last year I quit bushwacking late spring after seeing several rattlers every single trip in.
