I remember that. He was apparently quite a fisherman and that wasn't luck
I had a ground floor office on the south side of the river by the Americana Bridge for about 13 years. I kept hip waders and a rod rigged up and fished it at least 4 times a week (sometimes for only 15 minutes) year round. There is a real nice long seam in that stretch. I also explored the heck out of it from Barber Park to Star and found all kinds of honey holes. A buddy & I used to canoe from the office complex in Eagle to Star Road and there was some great fishing in that stretch.
Mike, you are right about overlooking this treasure because I haven't fished it much at all in the past five years and I live about a mile away. I guess I got occupied exploring other waters but it sure is convenient and it is pretty cool that there is a fishery of that quality right in the middle of a city.
