Mianus April

Weather: [75 Deg, Sunny] Water Conditions: [Slow, Low, Clear] Fishing Activity: [Few guys out throwing a line. Starting above the gorge] Methods: [Uncertain] Insects Observed: [none] General Concensus: [Did not appear to active. Maybe a sight of caddis. Water sort stagnet above the gorge.] Was advised by land management they did not aprove of persons fishing withinn the gorge. They claim fisherman are causing errosion climbing down the banks. I would think most guys enter upstream of the gorge. Seems they think the slow upstream area by the Walk Bench is fishable. The water is soooo slow there how can you present anything life looking. The feeders inlets downstream were flowing water.
