Streamside Report

Willow River

Hudson

5/15/98

Weather: sunny, warm
Water: murky
Hatches: none
Time: 2:30pm

Comments: I went to see how the Willow below Burkhardt is improving from the removal of the dam. I found it in terrible condition. Does anyone know what the long term projection is for this part of the Willow? I don't see how it can ever be the same since so much silt and sand has been deposited from above the dam. It's a shame, because last year this stretch provided some of the best fishing I have ever had, anywhere.
