Humidity: 28% Winds: 1.99mph. Cloud Cover: 0% | Arrived about 11:45 at the Button Rock Preserve trailhead parking lot and was on the water by 12:00.
I found a sweet hole in the section just off the middle of the parking lot. It was shaded by the canyon walls and appeared to be a great holding place.
I landed all browns - 12", 10" and 7" all between 1:30 - 2:15. I also hooked another small one but he threw the hook as I tried to net him. There was no action after 2:15 and I left @ 3pm. | 61.3 cfs | #18 Rainbow warrior (with flash) was the most productive. | Browns | 4 | 3 hours |
