Default The Rapid River and a kid

Damn - there's usually still good water two weeks into July, at least.
Why the new rule?


They (who the hell are "they", anyway?) say that the brookies gather in this
water during the heat of summer. The new regs are to protect the fish (???).
Also, the river below the Currents is closed as of Sept 15, rather than the
30th. There was no one at pondy two weeks ago. River flow was 390, so fishing
the 2nd Current was a snap. The big brookies are still there. The flow went
up to 490 and then to 590 the day we arrived (Monday).

Although the lake is low (down about 5 or 6 feet), and the flow skinny (390
from May 13 to a week ago) the river temp is still low - 63 degrees F. The
region has been blessed with some very cold nights during June, and lots of
cold rain.

Still have yet to catch my first bass.
