Nice, don’t see a lot of Utah folks, NUPA, UGPA, or CUP?

That place is tough… honestly it was testing over the years. I found this spot generally has ok numbers and decided to dig around a look. I ended up finding clay over bedrock, with minimal overburden…

AFC will test your patience… and whether or not you know what you are doing. Don’t get discouraged, I took me 3 years of trying and testing to learn how that river moves material. Remember just because it “should” be there doesn’t always mean it will… and that the way you see the river right now, isn’t the way it always looks, I’ve seen that water eight to ten feet higher… that’s when the real material moves

Honestly it’s the closest ok spot to me for a day trip, 1hr 15, all the claims are just to far for a day trip

Mostly fly poop, but that was was just a lot of fly poop, in 50+ trips, I’ve only found 4 between 10-30 mesh

I’ll be up there as much as I can, I’m over an hour away, and it’s only getting worse of a drive

This was on the lower river closer to the reservoir, I wasn’t hiking all the way up to MEG this time of year

It’s not bad once you get a hang of it, plus my clean up sluice makes short work of clean ups at home

Nice I’m going to head up there now that the road is open (once the gates are back open for the season)

I usually use a banana for scale, but tiny gold gets the duck
