Fishing Report June 11, 2014

This week found Cooper and me out and about testing the famous waters around the South Fork area and we were not disappointed in our results. Fish came easily to the bank at every spot we tried and it is very encouraging for summer to be a bountiful time for all.

With Beaver Reservoir drained for work on the dam, Big Meadows is going to take a lot of pressure this summer.
