[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, when the fish are hitting, their size makes them worth going after. But, when it shuts down, the drive ain't worth it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I suspect those smaller fish are from the planting of 3" fingerlings early in the year. Even though the rainbows run up the Sevier River, to dump their eggs, there is little "recruitment" (survival) because of the poor spawning bed conditions in the river...no gravel.[/#0000ff]
