Hello:
Friday night I fished Cedar river right of the road 167 I think, there is several nice pull outs.
Very nice runs with deeper pools. I fished with two fly rig, stone fly and pheasant tail nymph on the point. I landed several 10" + trout. I would cast across and let it swing , than while fly is hanging straight down , I would move my rod tip side to side to move the fly in different feeding line, and bang trot would hit it!
Still try to figure out some good fishing on the Cedar.
Thanks Jim S. for some great updated on this great stream.
