went down to the property looking for cuthroat and to play with the new flyrod. saw several people on the lower river looking for salmon but saw nobody catch any and no fish at the bridge down in town. caught several cutts up to about 15 inches near the property on the upper east fork. some young steelhead also. was hoping to find a few silvers or larger steelhead to test out my 3wt rod. saw a few large chinook holding in some of the pools. green diamond left the gate open since the last holiday and several people were around picking mushrooms and found 3 people on my beach in waders, claimed to be friends of a neighbor that hasn't been in state for several years and took off quickly.
