There were a couple of anglers fishing near the
Nike bridge when we arrived, but the river was pretty much void
of fisherman. We searched the upper stretches of the river and
found out why. There really weren't many fish around and there
definitely weren't any big fish down from the dam. There was
a couple of small cutthroats holding in the "cutthroat" pool
a couple hundred yards down from the dam, but we decided to keep
moving downriver to
see if we could find some rainbows. We each caught small rainbows
right below the I-70 bridge before continuing to work our way
downstream. There were maybe 8-10 fish holding under the Nike
bridge, but
we decided
to head off to another river rather then crowd around the fish
with the other fisherman. We did stop to check out the shop pool
behind
Cutthroat Anglers, but it also wasn't holding any fish. The water
was really low, so the fish must have all moved up to the restricted
area below the dam.
