Love to see the "science" justifying a closure in the lower reaches. Great idea to protect redds....but is there ANY below the Highwood? How many from Policeman's to the Highwood?. October afternoons can be good for feeding BWOs to sipping rainbows. Management should be backed by some facts.
How many brown redds are below Policeman's? Seems to me that a closure from Bearspaw to Policeman's would be sufficient to protect spawners. Anyone have access to fall redd counts?
I'm sure there is some jigs that she could throw that would have a "shrimpy" appearance.

I like my big dive fins 2-3x more than force fins, but you don't wear them over boots. Dive fins will create way more propulsion (good for travelling or fighting wind). I just throw my footwear behind the seat of my Fishcat 4
I've seen a wood box about 10"x12"x length of truck bed. Door opens up box once you lower the tailgate. When tailgate is closed you can't access the box. Just break rods in half with line still on. You can secure box to bed if you desire
You are turning into quite the lake guy....gear/boats/flies. Cutts are going to dis-own you.
