Hi. I was wondering if anyones been down to the lower hacklebarney area lately? I normally park in the parking area then walk far right for a mile or so. You wouldn't believe the success I have in there and how rarely I see anyone fishing. Now before you go and get your panties all knotted up,there is a reason why I'm not concerned about posting about it. Its a hike. You need to be in some physical shape other than round. Walking back up is a task and not for the week hearted. Any fatso looking to take home a dozen trout wont make it back up the mountain but Id love to see one keel over trying (with the dozen or so trout would be worth it) . Anywho. Is the area closed until opening day or can I take a walk down there now. It's been about a month since I been down there.
