hpb, that is my favorite stretch when I am visiting family and you are right on the size of fish, but, then with 2" stoneflies to feed on, what do you expect.
Heres a funny story, went there last year with my nephew who has a 12' aluminum boat with a 5 horsepower motor (I know you are laughing at this point). He said he had gone back up river with this set up when the river was higher, but, It wasn't going to happen the day we tried. We just stayed in a straight line, but we could skate sideways so we made it to shore (that gravel bed) and he ran back to get his truck, while I fished....what a life.
