I haven’t been there in a couple of weeks, but the last time I just drove in front of Pier Sushi and River Rose and around back. It also seemed that one could go past the coffee truck and find our parking area by driving behind the restaurants, but I don’t know for sure because I didn’t try it.
You can get in at the entrance near the coffee truck.
I’ll be there.

There will be another stocking soon, and, if you can attend, many members will be glad to show you where these spots are. But, in the interim, I’ll try to pinpoint them for you.
Mountain Creek Pool is downstream of #5. You go past Barking Dog Pool, past a stretch of flat water, past a deep slot (The Lower Slots) and you’ll see an obvious pool ahead of you. Mountain Creek is dry, but where it meets the Guad when it’s running is Mountain Creek Pool.
Kanz is more or less halfway between Rio and River Rose. You can either wade down from the latter or up from the former.
JDL is upstream from Whitewater (River Rose lease). You wade up from where you enter the water until you reach an island with somewhat deep water river right. You continue wading, past the island, until you see huge boulder river left (your right). JDL is past that boulder. It’s a beautiful pool that offers excellent habitat for trout.

Sure, but you have to pay me a $10/month subscription fee.
Seriously, just go to grtu.com and click on the “River Temps. Flow” button. Scroll down a bit, and voila.

Only Jimbo knows. I can’t imagine that it would be cost effective for a half-full truck to come down all the way from Missouri, but that’s purely a guess.

Welcome to the LAP program, Mike. I’ve been a LAP member for many years, so perhaps I can answer your questions.
We will be following a truck around from lease to lease. At a given lease, the trout will be taken from their cells and placed in large plastic buckets. Volunteers will carry to buckets to the river where they will release the fish.
As Jimbo will certainly tell us, it is recommended to give the trout some time (say a day) to acclimate themselves to their new home. He is also likely to say that if you’ve come along way and wish to fish, to go ahead.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to pm me.
Best,
Alex
The gloves aren’t for the trout but for your hands. The buckets we use to transport the fish to the river have rough rope handles that aren’t kind to unprotected hands.
Alex
Wouldn’t miss it. If you need help with traffic control, count me in.

I heard earlier today that the tournament went very well and that JC won with an impressive performance.
There are still a lot of holdovers in the river, so our season is off to an auspicious beginning.
Tight linges, everyone.
Alex
I wear waders whenever the air temperature is below 60 degrees. Of course, people’s cold tolerance varies.
Alex
I wouldn’t use addresses to locate the leases. Jimbo has a nice sticky above that takes you to the leases via photographs. It’s much easier that way.
Alex
That makes sense. Thank you.
Alex
Thank you, Jimbo, for the concern you show for the river, its fish, and the property owners that make the LAP program possible. We should do everything possible to have a positive and cordial relationship with those who allow us to use their property to access the river.
However, perhaps I’m too dimwitted, but I don’t see how we can exclude a second lock at River Bluff. I assume that the property owner has the combination to the GRTU lock, and I’ve always assumed that’s how they access their property. I’ve never been to River Bluff where a second lock was engaged. And if it were, then LAP members would have no access to the lease.
Therefore, on the chance that I’m not the only one who’s having a hard time visualizing the issue, could you explain exactly what was done incorrectly so that we don’t risk offending the kind people who own River Bluff?
Alex
Only fortunate tellers know the results. The rest of us have to wait until November 8.
