If I listened to every old boy that thinks the fishing gets worse every year I'd be fishing out of my bathtub for goldfish. There are good and bad seasons, it happens on every river. Sure this year wasn't a slammer, but you really can't expect it to be. With some of the springs we've had, I'm really looking forward to 2016-2017. Should be outstanding.
There aren't many rivers out there that are free of man made obstructions, let mother nature do her thing.
