I’m not familiar with those holes. Hiring a guide is hit or miss up there. I’m like you I just want to hire one to learn the river better so I figure a guide is a good way to go. I hired one in early Nov cost me $400.00 and we stayed in one hole all day. No fish. I’m not saying I didn’t learn a lot, I’m also not saying I was a little disappointed I did not catch fish. But thats why they call it fishing. Your right fishing has been slow. I here the CFS is up a bit this week. I’m heading up today and Sunday. Where do you reside?
