My Dad and I made it up there for a few hours Saturday. It was our first time up there for the opener, and probably the last. I couldn't believe all the people at the State ramp. We didn't notice any law breaking but it broke my heart to see little kids not catching any fish and grown men fishing at the ramp with state of the art equipment pulling fish after fish out of the water, while kids would ask their dad why can't we catch any. Just my opinion but I think they should reserve the ramp area for the kids. We fished West of the ramp a ways and the fishing wasn't fast and furious like at the ramp but we managed to catch some fish. Flies were the ticket, I thought worms would out fish flies so thats all we took, but the guy fishing next to us with a fly rod was catching 7 or 8 fish to our one. We didn't see any big fish caught and I was disappointed when I cleaned our fish and the meat was very pale. Here is a link to a video I took of the crowds on the ramp.
