Lol funny guy, anyone have advice for me? First time going there and from what I gather you must be very quiet so you don't spook them. What kind of flies would people suggest?

There used to be a white lab that would crash through the bushes and scare the crap out of fishermen (me). I don't know if he's still around. This is my favorite stream to throw bugs into the trees at. Good luck to you, I'll be there tomorrow.

The North Raven floods most years - Carr Creek that gathers the snow/run-off from about 2 townships joins the N. Raven about 1 miles above the B for W parking lot. It is the primary source of the run-off. Carr Creek is generally dry or nearly dry most summers.
