Default Finally

After being too busy, I finally am getting to the rivers this weekend! Was planning of waiparous creek or roaming south of Hwy 1 on the trunk. Any suggestions on flies?

Best to grab a fishing license and fishing regulations then. You'll likely discover that those streams are closed until June 16...

I would bring your cheapest flies, so you can afford to replace them when Fish and Wildlife confiscates them for poaching.

Almost all the rivers in ES1 are closed to fishing until mid-June.

All of Waiparous Creek is in ES1 and is closed till June 16. You may want to have a close look at the regs and maps before venturing out.
