that's wilson holding the trout from april 2009, I believe the confluence is most active in the spring.

Oops! My apologies!

Tiger trout was two years ago...There are usually a couple thrown in during spring stockings...And the sturgeon were about five years ago in the long riff below findern....

Tiger was about 13" and the few sturgeon seen and caught were about 3' ..

How was the water on the main stem Andy? I hit the North Branch for a few hours yesterday AM and the water was really clear.

I watched one of them big bows come up and bite my spinner but I didn't get a hook-up. To rub it in, after he threw the lure he jumped straight up about 2 feet out of the water right in front of me to rub it in. lol.

A dink smallie avoided the skunk on the day.
