Has anyone fished it recently. I was just wondering how it is fishing. Also has anyone fished the lower reaches below the Backstrom park, such as 2 or 4 miles below it? What about upstream of the park before the river even enters the city. Thanks

I fished it 2 weeks ago about 2 miles below the park. I made the mistake of fishing a weekend during hot weather. The river and park were full of people swimming and splashing. Trying to Find a spot away from the crowd was difficult. In my first 5 minutes I took an 8 to 9 incher. The rest of the afternoon and early evening however, every fish I brought in was under 8 inches. I was to far down stream from where the State makes it's plants. That was the reason for the smaller fish but I just couldn't get closer up stream due to the crowds. The little ones were hitting me with some frequencey in the evening . I was using a soft hackle fly and skimming it over the tail outs. If you go just don't pick a hot sunny weekend day.
