We didn't do any good either except Jeff did get a couple of hits, they just
didn't stick around. We put the boats in at 2-bit and we drove up to the top
of 2-bit and fished it first and that was the last place we were first.
Seems every spot we got to was already taken, Jeff says it was the most
crowded he'd ever seen it. We also spoke to no one who got a fish, what
gives? So many people and so few fish. Yea but it was one beautiful day to
be on the river.
