Monday early afternoon I had to go to Mayberry's in port Murray to pick-up a dead chainsaw and a blower. On my drive home I passed over point mountain bridge and couldn't resist the urge to fish. I parked and met a nice guy taking pictures and asking me to look at C.J.T.U web-site. He suggested this after I told him I let my T.U. membership expire(but that is another story, I will be renewing but when I can't say). I didn't have my waders, but no matter as the river is low and Point Mnt. can be fished without waders. It was more of a walk with my rod to see the restored section. Off I went up the river along the path, passed the usual spots on the lower end, and up to the S bend.
the S bend is still there but the water flows through it differently, and the pool above the rapids is MUCH deeper...it looked very nice.
Onward up stream I travelled and saw the changes. Lots of deep pools and riffles and a few flats that looked like they remained untouched. What a different appearance the river has there now and for the better. I didn't see or move any fish except a few small mouth in the lower section on my walk back. There were a few others fishing as well, and I didn't see them hook or land anything either. I think one of the was the MANTIS, but I'm not sure.
A report from a friend further downstream revealed I was in the wrong section of river as he had moved a few rainbows quickly(by the Yellow house). I only had an hour, so I only had a few drifts and spent most of the hour checking out the "new river"....Nice job Rusty, I guess we will let you back on the site!
and maybe I will join T.U. again....maybe!
