I just returned from a family trip to the Island park area. I did get some time to get out and fish some of the area but I was a bit disappointed at the fishing. We fished below the island park dam and caught some 14-16" cut bows, but every where else was meager at best. Saw lots of fisherman but few fish being caught. We took the kids to the res. but didn't even get a bite. Lots of people in the coffee pot area. The regulations are diffucult to interpret since you must know the area pretty well. this bridge to that bridge..... barbless.... fly fishing only... etc. We caught fish but we aren't rushing back for the fishing. Too much pressure and not enough experience I guess. Chicken.
