There are actually quite a few but they're tough to find in big groups. Only reason I know the numbers are there is if you hit big elk creek or bear creek in late Aug you can see them spawning.
On a second note- this is the perfect time to fish the bank- small bait/indicator and watch for the hesitation. Not really even a hard enough bite to notice except a hesitation. Did it once this year with fly fishing gear and did well. Bait last yr was great - has to be just before the ice starts to form. This causes those fish to circle the shallow water near the banks.
